A weekend full of discovery in the heart of the Gaume
June is gently settling its long, luminous evenings over the Gaume, and with them comes a fine series of events worth catching. Whether you're passionate about history, love the outdoors, or simply looking for an original family outing, the region is full of surprises.
Archaeology takes centre stage in Virton
The highlight of the weekend is undoubtedly the European Archaeology Days at the Musée gaumais in Virton, running from 12 to 14 June. The programme includes conferences, a historical camp reconstruction, workshops, games and on-site catering. A perfect outing for all ages, offering a vivid dive into the layers of Gaume's past. An absolute must if you're staying in the area this weekend.
A fun run in Chenois
On Sunday morning, lace up your trainers for the Corrid'Oie at the village school in Chenois. With routes of 1, 5 and 10 km, this friendly race welcomes all levels — a wonderful way to discover the paths and landscapes of the Gaume countryside on foot.
Summer biathlon in Arlon
On Saturday 12 June, Arlon hosts the Summer Biathlon Challenge, combining endurance and precision. A dynamic sporting spectacle — even for those who come simply to watch and explore the capital of the Belgian Province of Luxembourg.
An open-air evening in Bouillon
To round off Saturday in style, head to Bouillon for the Not'Air Open Air Party. Celebrating the first anniversary of the bar "Chez l'Notaire", this outdoor festive evening promises warmth and good cheer — exactly the spirit of fine Ardennes summer nights.
Comedy and wit in Arlon
On Thursday evening, don't miss Benjamin Ghislain in « Brain Damage » in Arlon. A brilliantly offbeat stand-up show to kick off the weekend with a smile and a light heart.
The Gaume, the Ardennes and the Belgian Province of Luxembourg always give you reasons to linger a little longer. If you feel like turning the weekend into something more, Gîtes-Gaume welcomes you right at the heart of this exceptional region.
