The village of Redu, about 18km/11miles west of Saint-Hubert on the far side of the A4, is a mecca for bibliophiles. In 1984 a collector and a journalist set up the only book village on the continent of Europe in accordance with the predecessor at Hay-on-Wye in Wales. Nearly 30 antiquarians as well as bookbinders, a cooper and craftsmen offer
their services. The books are chiefly of French literature and often quantity rather than quality prevails. The shops are open from Mar.-Dec. from time to time; at Easter a large bookmarket is held.
Redu is also the home of a satellite communications base.
