Gaume and surroundings: perfect getaways for your next days in Belgium
September brings golden hues to the Gaume region with forest walks, intimate concerts, and gourmet discoveries. Whether you seek tranquility or surprises, this corner of Belgium shines for your enjoyment.
Gaume awakens, inviting you on a journey
The Gaume, a historic and natural heartland in the Luxembourg Province, is soon to be adorned with the hues of autumn. Between mysterious forests, preserved valleys, and villages steeped in history, it offers visitors an escape where culture, nature, and tradition intertwine harmoniously. Here’s a selection of moments not to be missed over the coming days, all from the warm comfort of your gîte.
A musical Sunday in Arlon
Begin your week on a refined note with the art vocal recital « Pieces of Peace » by Bernard Massuir. This delicate and captivating performance will immerse you in an atmosphere where voices intertwine to evoke peace and serenity. A suspended moment, perfect for savoring art in a city as charming as Arlon.
Ride through the heart of the forest
On the same day, let yourself be guided on a horseback ride to discover the treasures of the Gaume. Two departures are scheduled, at 9am and 1.30pm: you’ll mount a well-groomed horse for a ride accompanied by passionate guides, where mushroom foraging will punctuate your journey. A sensory and uplifting experience, between shadows and light of the woods.
A call to preserve the unseen
The following day, lend your ear to an appeal as discreet as it is essential with the walk « Imagine a world without insects ». Part of the Odyssée Nature initiative, this stroll will reveal, from a often overlooked angle, the crucial role these small beings play in our ecosystem. An instructive walk bathed in the morning colors of the forest.
The words and wisdom of the forest
On Friday 11 September, two events will stir your curiosity: first, a medicinal walk in Gaume, where ancestral knowledge blends with the softness of the trails. Then, in the evening, the conference « The forest, an ally for our health? », organized by the Tenneville Nature Group, will explore the deep links between human health and forest ecosystems.
Gaume awaits you, like a story waiting to be lived
Whether you are drawn to the silence of vast spaces or the warmth of human connections, the Gaume, Arlon, and the Belgian Ardennes overflow with opportunities to fulfill your desires. These escapades, easily accessible from the calm and conviviality of your gîte, are all the pretext you need to soak up the soul of this preserved region, where every moment becomes an invitation to discovery.
Your next memory is already taking shape: all you need to do is choose the right moment.
