 Château de Durbuy by DanielF
In the town itself, restaurants, antique shops and souvenir shops have taken in most of the old buildings, whereas the surrounding area has become a well known centre for adventure sport and outdoor activities.
Guarding the Ourthe river, the château de Durbuy, is the most monumental structure in town. It dates back to the XI Century, but the current building was erected in the XVIII Century by the Earls of Ursel.
Other noteworthy old buildings include the Church of Saint Nicholas and the Wheat Hall, used in ancient times as the administration and jurisdiction centre of the town. Today, it has been turned into an exhibition hall. Leave a Comment

One of the most beautiful equestrian statues in Brussels depicts the famous Medieval knight known as Godfrey of Bouillon, who know presides over the Royal Square. Although he was born in France, he became the Lord of the town of Bouillon and, according to a legend, he led the First Crusade. He even became the ruler of Jerusalem, although he opted for the title of Protector of the Holy Tomb instead of King.
Today, Bouillon is a rather forgotten town near the French border, where the biggest attraction is a Medieval fortress that dramatically clings over the houses that line the Semois river and from where the Crusade departed. For some time, Bouillon was a duchy which enjoyed a great autonomy within the German Empire, until 1975, when it was annexed by France and subsequently by the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

Every 11th of november there is a hunters market in Bouillon. At this market you can buy the game, meat, sausages, skins or other products. But also products from the area like tabacco, special marmelades, wine and other spirits.
The market is in the center of Bouillon. It is always very busy. So it can be a pain to find a parking spot. Leave a Comment
