Mary's Washing Place. There was probably an open-air spring here earlier, but it is certain that the Virtonese were already using it in 1563, when it was mentioned as Fontaine Mère, the Mother Fountain. This spring, situated on the hillside, was so named because it supplied a series of other water points. First called lavoir Sainte-Catherine (Saint Catherine's Washing Place), the name changed to Fontaine Marie in 1693. Springs are often placed under the protection of a god and later of a saint. In 1784, this spring, with its two washbasins, was covered, giving it its current appearance. As a result of a tax on the use of public washrooms in 1815, the Fontaine Marie was reserved for the poorer Virtonese. The introduction of indoor water taps between 1869 and 1876 limited the use of public water supplies. (Stapperloot)

You can take a good break at the French/Belgian border. The bank is a bit in the shade and you can watch the hustle and bustle on the fields.

Mount Saint-Walfroy or hermitage of Saint-Walfroy is a hill in the Ardennes. The summit reaches its peak at 350 meters above sea level. Almost 200 meters lower, the villages are spread out in their valleys, where the rivers meander. To reach Saint-Walfroy you have to climb steep paths. Once at the top, the panorama extends over the Maas and the Ardennes. It is a former place of pagan worship, chosen as a hermitage in the 6th century by Walfroy the Stylite and has since become a place of worship and pilgrimage. This site thus becomes a witness to the vicissitudes of the history of the French Catholic Church and the history of an Ardennes territory, in the immediate vicinity of the border.
