Belgium: Route throught Walloon, tailor-made by car

This region, with an immense historical and cultural wealth seen in its buildings, works of art and festivities, is divided into 5 provinces: Walloon Brabant, Hainaut, Namur, Liège and Belgian Luxembourg. If you are in search of a spot of fresh air and nature, then Wallonia, with its numerous open spaces, three quarters of which are covered by the Meuse basin, is the ideal place. Wallonia also marks the border with southern Europe, both in terms of language and in lifestyle, for which it has a relaxed pace of life and Mediterranean style attitude. Wallonia probably has also the highest concentration of castles in the world. Although some of the old military fortresses or bourgeois houses have been transformed over the centuries into lavish residences, there are others now in ruin that bear testimony to their glorious past. The region's Trappist abbeys, famous for their internationally acclaimed beers, are not the only abbeys in Wallonia. Other religious orders, such as the Benedictines, Premonstratensians, Recollects and many others once made the peaceful corners of Wallonia their home. If you are looking for thrills and excitement, Wallonia offers a wide range of activities to suit everyone. From the depths of its caves to tops of its roller coasters, not forgetting its natural parks and recreation centres, there is always something exciting and fun to do.
