Gaume & Belgian Luxembourg this Sunday: a slow September 2026 escape
Artisan markets in a castle, cycling loops and car-free Sundays: your perfect day of September 20, 2026 in the Gaume, Virton, Arlon and the Belgian Ardennes.
A September Sunday, when the Gaume slows right down
On 20 September 2026, the Gaume and Belgian Luxembourg region offers a Sunday rich in variety. No rush needed — just pick your own pace.
Under the vaults of Latour Castle, artisans gather
The Artisan Market at Château de Latour brings together local makers in the majestic setting of this old Gaume fortress. Jewellery, ceramics, hand-woven textiles: a morning to wander the stalls, a coffee on the terrace overlooking the château. A full Sunday, unhurried.
Pedal, walk, breathe: La Pierrardine at Pierrard
The cycling and walking loop La Pierrardine launches this Sunday between Virton and the Pierrard hills. Suitable for every level. Perfect after a hearty Gaume breakfast.
Walking the Godasse Gaumaise trails at Ethe
For the true wanderer, the Godasse Gaumaise walks are unmatched. Three routes — 6, 12 or 20 km — set off early from Ethe, threading through oak woodland and open meadow.
In Manhay, mobility turns into a festival
Further north, the Manhay Mobility Day transforms the village into a human-scale playground: bikes, local producers, family activities. You leave with a basket of farmhouse cheese.
One last gift: the road back to the children
The N829 between Lavacherie and Ortheuville closes for the day. The Car-Free Sunday hands a whole street back to kids on rollerblades and scooters.
Looking for a base to explore all this? Our Gaume cottages sit just steps from every trail.
