Mont Saint-Walfroy

Highlight • Viewpoint

Mont Saint-Walfroy was once a place of pagan worship, before being chosen to build the hermitage of Saint-Walfroy, the apostle of the Ardennes. You will appreciate the panoramic views of the Meuse valley and the surrounding forests, as well as the historical and religious importance of this place. Along the way, you will pass by the Chapelle Saint-Donat, a small chapel dedicated to a local saint.

Villers-devant-Orval village

Highlight • Settlement

Villers-devant-Orval is an old village that was largely destroyed during the Second World War. Only a few older houses survived this war.
When you walk through the village, you will discover some old 18th century farms and even a 17th century castle, now classified. On the « Place de l'Etang » in the center of the village is the Saint-Gengoulf fountain; this old structure was rebuilt in 1847; in a niche is the statue of the saint patron of the parish and holder of the church. Opposite is a « fumière » which, as the name implies, was a storage place for the manure. The wooden beams that support the roof come from the old church that was destroyed at the beginning of the war 1940-45.

Orval Abbey

Highlight • Religious Site

Orval Abbey is a legendary place that combines history, culture, spirituality, and gourmet delights. The famous Orval Trappist beer is still brewed here, according to the original recipe. The label of the Orval bottle, as well as many of the abbey's ornaments, features a trout and a ring. Legend has it that Countess Mathilde de Canossa accidentally dropped her wedding ring into a fountain here. She prayed to God, and a trout appeared on the surface of the water, carrying the precious ring in its mouth. "It's a Val d'Or," cried the noblewoman. And she decided to found a monastery in this blessed place...

À l’Ange Gardien is a surprising place; as part of the world-famous Orval site, it undoubtedly contributes to the region's tourism development. The fully renovated and modernized building meets all modern needs and requirements (proximity to parking, accessibility for people with disabilities, Wi-Fi, etc.). Here, you can enjoy the widest selection of Orval products. Both the beer and cheese are at their finest. L’Ange Gardien also exclusively serves Orval on tap, better known as the Green Orval.
