Originally from Boulogne sur Mer, Duke Godefroy became famous for financing the first Crusade... by selling his château in Bouillon to the diocese of Liège. The château is today one of the major tourist attractions in the Ardennes. Located within the former convent of the Sépulcrines, l'Archéoscope offers a trail which traces the life of Godefroid of Bouillon on his journey to Jerusalem.

Yet the whole region of Bouillon has a wealth of historical heritage and exceptional natural surroundings. The winding roads to get there will enchant cyclists, bikers and "oldtimers". It also has numerous marked walking trails, and the option of go-karting, kayaking, etc. And the Golf des Ardennes, scarcely 25km away, offers special conditions to guests at the hotel Panorama.

For a long time, Semois was the "tobacco store" of Belgium, and excellent pipe tobacco is still produced in Corbion, where you can visit the interesting Musée du Tabac.
