What to Do in Gaume This Weekend: Five Events That Make November 2026 Shine
A museum explored by torchlight, fireside storytelling, a wine fair and a walk under the stars — the Gaume and Belgian Luxembourg calendar for November 2026 is anything but quiet.
A Gentle Start to November
Low season? Hardly. Down here in Gaume, November 2026 opens with a handful of happenings that carry the grace of being human-sized.
Let the past light your path… with a flashlight
The Musée gaumais in Virton throws open its doors after dark. Armed with nothing but a torch, you wander the collections in pursuit of the stray soul-fragments of a forgotten knight. La nuit au Musée gaumais is playful yet singular — perfect for a couple or a family staying nearby on a Friday evening.
Stories by the fire
In the same intimate spirit, a Soirée contes d'automne gathers all ages around storyteller Christian Schaubroeck. Eight p.m., ten euros, a crackling voice and the smell of woodsmoke in the hearth. Book ahead; these evenings fill fast.
The glass that brings people together
If your weekend leans gourmand, the Foire aux vins Couleurs du Sud (November 6–8) builds a bridge between sun-kissed southern terroirs and honest Belgian produce. Three days to sniff, sip, and leave with a case — and better stories.
Lanterns against the night
In Arlon, the beloved Marche aux lampions de Saint-Martin sets the streets aglow. Children up front, parents trailing with a thermos, neighbours you haven't seen since summer finally catching up.
Raise your eyes to the Milky Way
On Saturday 7, Natagora Lesse leads a Balade à la découverte du ciel in Bertrix. Far from city glare, the stars over Belgian Luxembourg reclaim every bit of their brilliance.
Looking for a cosy base from which to explore all of this on foot, on horseback, or by torchlight? Gîtes de la Gaume welcome guests all through autumn, between Virton, Arlon and the valleys of Luxembourg province.
