Wallonia

The French-speaking south of Belgium, with scenic Ardennes forests, historic Meuse Valley towns, caves and castles.

Wallonia lies in southern Belgium, where French is the main language and there is a German-speaking community in the east. The terrain is more rugged than in the north, with the forests and valleys of the Ardennes in the south. Namur, Dinant and Liège sit between the Meuse and the hills, and the Han-sur-Lesse caves, the small town of Durbuy and numerous castles are worth a visit. Spa is a historic spa town, and the nearby Spa-Francorchamps circuit hosts the Formula 1 Belgian Grand Prix; Mons has a UNESCO-listed belfry and coal mining sites. Spring, summer and autumn are all good for outdoor activities such as hiking and kayaking. Gateways include Charleroi Airport and Liège Airport, and you can also arrive by train from Brussels.
