Marche-en-Famenne, 13km/8miles to the northeast of Rochefort, is the chief place in Famenne and a center of Wallonian pillow lace, the production of which is carried on in the village. It was here in 1577 that Don Juan of Austria signed the edict confirming the Peace of Ghent, which had been concluded a year before, and by which the Spanish left the provinces of the Netherlands.
Features worth seeing in the village are the Musée de la Tourelle with a collection of lace work, the Musée de la Famenne, as well as the 14th Church of Saint-Remacle with its very fine font of the same date.
