Gaume and its surroundings come alive this early September weekend, offering a rich variety of experiences for wanderers and connoisseurs alike. Between scenic walks, hidden heritage, and quirky encounters, here is a carefully chosen selection to immerse your stay in local authenticity.
Guided walk: a window onto southern horizons
An original departure awaits you at 2 PM near the water tower on Rue des Épierres for a guided hike led by Hedwige Lauriks, a passionate guide of the Gaume and Ardennes landscapes. Through sun-kissed slopes and lush valleys, this walk offers a glimpse into the natural history of our region. Price: €7 for adults, €3 for children.
Flea markets: a peek into the soul of villages
The streets of Gaume transform into bustling hubs of objects brimming with stories this weekend. In Arlon, a clothes swap organized by the Youth Centre invites you to explore sartorial treasures at bargain prices, perfect for marking a unique keepsake. In Gerouville, the day’s flea market unfolds in vibrant colors among stalls where every corner holds the promise of an unexpected find.
Heritage revisited: exhibitions and debates
In Arlon, the exhibition Through the Lens of the World Wars at Affiche Museums Lab delves into the visual and historical narratives of two pivotal eras. An essential dive into the past to understand our present.
Virton: a hub of knowledge and creativity
Virton’s cultural calendar shines with two standout events: a documentary screening followed by a debate at Ciné Patria — Something Moves Him — and a children’s workshop at Biblio’Nef, where Émilie Seron introduces young participants to the forest’s little people. Perfect for a day out with family.
An invitation to slow travel
Whether on foot, lost in thought, or engaged in lively conversations, these events are designed to let Gaume unfold in a different light. After a morning spent in the woods or rummaging through flea market stalls, why not extend your stay in the quiet of a countryside retreat?
The Gaume reveals itself to those who take the time to listen. Could this be your chance to pause and soak it in for a weekend?
