2-day city trip to the Gaume for your group: Orval Abbey ruins, a boat trip on the Semois at Chiny and the village of Torgny.
In the far south of Belgium, the Gaume enjoys a milder climate, tiled-roof houses and landscapes that herald Lorraine. Your group explores the medieval ruins of Orval Abbey, beside the abbey still inhabited by Trappist monks, then travels down the Semois by boat at Chiny. Torgny, the southernmost village in the country, even grows vines on its sunny slopes.
