Perfect for Families The Furfooz park is particularly suitable for family outings. With its diverse environments (forests, meadows, Lesse riverbanks, etc.), the nature walk winds its way past 15 remarkable elements of the reserve that will satisfy both young and old alike. A delightful pit stop at the park's refreshment stand, named La Flobette, is possible along the Lesse. Don't forget your camera... Furfooz, a Slice of Provence When it comes to nature, the sunny, rocky cliffs also host quite interesting plants typical of sun-drenched limestone slopes, providing ample satisfaction for numerous insects. The site is also maintained by sheep. Moreover, the park is a recognized nature reserve accredited by the Walloon Region and unique in Belgium. An Exceptional Heritage On the historical side, the Furfooz massif has been continuously inhabited since prehistoric times (caves) up to the medieval period (plateau). Over time, the Lesse River has carved through the entire rocky massif, leaving behind a multitude of caves, caverns, and holes. These have been inhabited by humans for millennia (approximately 14,000 years). Additionally, you can see the start of the Lesse's underground branch. The archaeological heritage is very rich, as numerous objects have been found here, allowing us to trace the site's occupation over time. Closer to our time, a fortress and baths were erected at the end of the Roman period. Only the ruins remain, though the baths were completely reconstructed in 1958; this life-size monument alone is worth the visit!

 With its magnificent towers and beautiful woodwork, the Château de Vêves seems straight out of a fairy tale. It is considered one of the most beautiful medieval castles in Belgium, an exceptional heritage site in Wallonia.

Fiefdom of Pépin de Herstal in the 8th century, then fortress of the Lords of Beaufort (rebuilt by them in 1410), then home of their descendants the Counts of Liedekerke Beaufort, Vêves appears to us today as a living and harmonious witness to past centuries and a brilliant example of military art . A magical castle Perched on a rocky peak, it is made up of five admirable towers as well as a remarkable half-timbered gallery (16th century). By discovering the castle apartments, the visitor will also be taken in by the charm of a refined atmosphere: 18th century furniture, rare porcelain, historical souvenirs and paintings. Entertainment for children The castle offers children the opportunity to dress up as a knight or princess during their visit! The costume is included in the entry price.
