My heart's Gaume. All my youth in Gaume.

Chassepierre is an artists' village situated on the Semois River. Chassepierre derives from the Latin casa petrea ("stone house"). It is one of the most beautiful villages in Wallonia.

Florenville (Gaumais: Floravile) is a city in the Province of Luxembourg. Florenville is situated on a cuesta formed by Florenville calcareous sandstone. Located in the northwest of the Gaume region, at the gateway to the Ardennes, it comprises seven former municipalities: Chassepierre, Florenville, Fontenoille, Lacuisine, Muno, Sainte-Cécile, and Villers-devant-Orval. Its assets are numerous: beautiful sites and landscapes; the discreet charm of its villages and hamlets; clean air; vast forests teeming with wildlife crisscrossed by numerous hiking trails; the extraordinary Semois valley, a beautiful river with changing landscapes; a warm welcome from its residents; a long-standing tradition of tourism; numerous and varied tourist attractions; and a variety of hospitality and accommodation options.

The Church of Our Lady of the Assumption in Florenville, built in 1873 in the Neo-Gothic style, was severely damaged during the bombings of May 1940. Given the residents' deep connection with their church, it was rebuilt in 1951, thus preserving its central role in the spiritual and cultural life of the town. The building is distinguished by its imposing 50-meter-high tower, accessible via 232 steps, which offers a remarkable view of the Semois valley and the surrounding villages. The bell tower houses a carillon of 48 bells, renowned for its remarkable beauty and sound. The interior, adorned with nearly 200 m² of stained-glass windows, depicts regional saints such as Saint Hubert and Blessed Constantine. The church's exceptional acoustics make it an excellent venue for classical music concerts.

Perched atop the church tower, about 50 meters above ground, the belvedere offers unparalleled views: 800 km² to explore. The belvedere offers expansive views of Belgium (the Ardennes and Gaume) and France (the Ardennes and Lorraine). You have to climb 232 steps to reach the top... (Ardenne.org)

FYI, the ruins are those of old forges and not those of a castle as mentioned above.

Saint Cecile, to whom this church was dedicated, is primarily responsible for good sound—if one can put it so casually here—as she is the patron saint of church music. Many sacred choirs are named after her. The dates of her birth from the legend of the saint are not historically confirmed; she is said to have been a martyr from the early third century. The patron saint's feast day, or her memorial day in the calendar of saints, is November 22nd in all major Christian denominations.

Taking the descending road, you reach the archaeological and artistic site of Montauban. A lovely, bucolic spot.
