Beloeil Castle, home of the Princes de Ligne, its French formal gardens and the House of Giants in Ath, in Hainaut.
Nicknamed the “Belgian Versailles”, Beloeil Castle has been the home of the Princes de Ligne for centuries and preserves furnished salons, paintings and a rich library. Its French formal gardens stretch around a large lake, with long, flat vistas that are easy to explore on foot. In the afternoon, your group continues to nearby Ath to discover the House of Giants, devoted to the famous giants of the Ducasse, a festival listed by UNESCO as intangible cultural heritage. The programme leaves time for a seated lunch and a coffee break on Ath’s Grand-Place. A day of heritage and traditions, without fatigue.
