Rochefort & Grotte de Lorette
Rochefort
A small town famous for Trappist Rochefort beer, with the Lorette Cave light-and-sound show and the ruins of a count’s castle. It is only a few kilometers from the Han Caves.
Rochefort is a small town in the Ardennes hills. The Abbey of Saint-Rémy on its outskirts brews the famous Trappist Rochefort 6, 8 and 10 beers. The abbey is not open to the public, but you can taste the beers in the town’s bars. The Lorette Cave is known for its huge Hall of the Magicians. Inside, a balloon is raised to a height to show the cave’s vertical dimensions, and there are light and sound effects. Admission costs about €10. The ruins of the Counts’ castle in the town center overlook the town. Han-sur-Lesse is about 6 kilometers away, so both can be visited on the same day.
Opening hours
Loreto Cave about 10:00–17:00 (open season)
