A gourmet hike, African drumming, literary walks and guided nature discoveries: 31 May 2026 has something for every traveller in the Gaume and Belgian Luxembourg region.
A Memorable Last Sunday of May in Gaume and the Ardennes
May bows out in fine style. This Sunday, 31 May, the Gaume, the Arlon area and the Ardennes valleys are offering a rich array of events — reason enough to lace up your walking boots, open your ears or simply let your mind wander. Here is our pick of the day.
Paroles en Gaume: Words Take a Walk
This is perhaps the most distinctive event of the weekend. Paroles en Gaume with the CCBC blends open-air performances, concerts, an exhibition, a market and literary animations in the heart of the region. A one-of-a-kind gathering for lovers of words and landscape, experienced at the gentle pace of deepest Gaume.
Gourmet Hike in Corbion
For those who like to combine effort with pleasure, the Gourmet Hike in Corbion is an irresistible invitation. Nine kilometres through the woods, nine food stands along the route, with staggered departures between 9:30 and 11:00 from the local football club. A programme that perfectly captures the Ardennes art of living.
Guided Walk through the Heinsch Marshes
Just a short distance from Arlon, the guided walk through the Heinsch Marshes offers an immersion into a rare and protected ecosystem. An ideal nature outing for curious minds of all ages who want to discover this corner of Belgium from a different angle.
Family Djembe Workshop in the Heart of Belgian Luxembourg
The weekend can also pulse to the rhythms of African percussion. The Parent-Child Djembe Workshop welcomes parents and children aged 3 to 15 for a shared introduction to African rhythms. A rare, playful and deeply musical moment, rooted in the heart of Luxembourg province.
ADEPS Walk: Fresh Air at Your Own Pace
For independent walkers, the ADEPS Walk offers distances of 7, 10, 15 or 20 km, with departures from 8:00 a.m. Everyone sets their own pace and charts their own horizon — which is precisely the charm of these popular walking events, still one of the finest ways to read a landscape.
This Sunday is a perfect illustration of what Gaume and its surroundings have to offer: a quality of life that is best appreciated when you take a few days to truly settle in. Gîtes de Gaume are here for exactly that.
