This weekend in the Gaume and the Ardennes: walks, crafts and good company in June 2026
From guided walks to silversmithing workshops and laughter-filled evenings, Saturday 13 June 2026 offers travellers in the Gaume and Belgian Luxembourg Province a wonderfully varied day out.
Saturday in the Gaume: a day worth stepping outside for
Some days, the region seems to arrange everything on your behalf — a reason to walk, to create, to laugh, or simply to feel at home somewhere beautiful. This 13 June 2026, the Gaume, Arlon and the surrounding area are brimming with possibilities. Here are a few, hand-picked to make your stay even more memorable.
A guided walk to read the landscape differently
Start the morning with the Guided Walk "La Roche à l'Appel", a compact 3-kilometre route that unfolds layers of geological, industrial and local history in a remarkably vivid setting. Short but richly informative — ideal before the rest of the day unfolds.
For those with longer legs and a heartier appetite for fresh air, the Marche des Galopins offers an 18-kilometre group walk, completely free and requiring no registration. Bring a packed lunch, lace up your boots, and set off from the church car park at 10:30.
Making something with your hands: ceramics or silversmithing
Two exceptional craft workshops are running this same day in Luxembourg. The Family Ceramics Workshop invites adults and children alike to shape clay together — a tactile, calming experience that's perfect for families on a short break.
For something more precious, the Silversmithing Workshop guides you through crafting your own silver jewellery from scratch. Leaving with a piece you made yourself is the kind of souvenir no shop can replicate.
An evening of laughter and music
In Ethe, the Festival du Rire opens its doors at 8 p.m. at the P'tit Théâtre — a warm, lighthearted evening entirely in the spirit of Gaume's famously welcoming character.
Music lovers will enjoy the Blind Test Tendera at the Salle du TT Virton: an interactive musical quiz where your ears do the work. A fun, convivial way to end a well-spent Saturday.
A day this full deserves a comfortable, characterful place to return to. The gîtes of the region are waiting, right in the heart of this living, breathing countryside — explore your options at gites-gaume.be.
