Rocroi (7 km)

 

This fortified town is virtually one of a kind, as Rocroi is the only European town - with Italy's Palma Nova - to have preserved its original concentric buildings in the shape of a "petrified starfish.

Ten streets fan out like the points of a star from a central square, allowing the men of the garrison to move super-fast to their posts.

Rocroi was built in 1555, under Henry II, as a counterweight to the nearby fortress of Charlemont, and surrounded by impressive defensive walls with five bastions.

Vauban made very few changes in 1675, and the original layout reflects a bold architectural style that had come over from Italy during the Renaissance.

Rocroi remained a garrison town until 1889.

Lompret (15 km)

 

Lompret, one of the most beautiful villages in Wallonia.

On the banks of the river, Lompret was formed in the footsteps of the old feudal castle.

It still retains its 18th- and 19th-century silhouette and habitat. Discover the greenery at the edge of the village and its remarkable trees during a walk.

An oasis of tranquility worth a visit!
