Servais Lahage Mural

Highlight • Monument

La fresque Servais in Lahage is a mural inspired by the work of Jean-Claude Servais, a well-known Belgian cartoonist. The fresco was made by Yves Piedboeuf, another artist from the region. The fresco shows a scene from the album “La belle Coquetière”, which takes place in Lahage. You can admire the fresco on the facade of Lahage12 station.

The fresco is part of the Servais trail, a route that connects several frescoes and statues by Jean-Claude Servais. The Servais trail passes through several municipalities in the province of Luxembourg, such as Tintigny, Virton, Florenville and Chiny3. It is a wonderful way to discover the region and enjoy the art of Jean-Claude Servais.
