Historic public washhouse of Saint-Genoulf
Highlight • Historical Site
The fog or shadows give a mysterious atmosphere to the cemetery.
Not recommended for the faint of heart.

Fumière Shelter - Historic Eel Pit
Highlight • Historical Site
From our diary Midweek Gaume 2021:
We leave the Trappist on the shelf and with the blessing of Saint Therese we dive into the 'Golden Valley'.
Christ at the old lime tree is a landmark (and an example) for many who have climbed out of the deep valley. Dark clouds gather, thick drops fall on our umbrella. Lightning bolts light up the wet asphalt.
The fumière (old eel pit) in the village of Villers-devant-Orval offers some relief.
After a quick prayer, with the protector against thunder and lightning, Saint-Genoulf, the storm stopped as quickly as it came. In times of need one knows one's friends and at this moment it is better to be friends with someone who once served in the Roman Legio fulminatrix (Lightning Legion).
At the village washhouse we refresh our minds and return with peace of mind through the State Forests to the spiritual resort of Orval.
A school of trout hear our cadence and jump for joy at our reunion.
On the good end we sip our spirited Trappist Orval.

Villers-devant-Orval village
Highlight • Settlement
When you walk through the village, you will discover some old 18th century farms and even a 17th century castle, now classified. On the « Place de l'Etang » in the center of the village is the Saint-Gengoulf fountain; this old structure was rebuilt in 1847; in a niche is the statue of the saint patron of the parish and holder of the church. Opposite is a « fumière » which, as the name implies, was a storage place for the manure. The wooden beams that support the roof come from the old church that was destroyed at the beginning of the war 1940-45.
