Bouillon Attractions

|
In the south of the Belgian province of Luxembourg, close to the French border, Bouillon nestles prettily in a loop of the River Semois, encircled by the wooded heights of the southern Ardennes. Dominated by its imposing castle, the small town is a popular summer resort and makes a lively center for excursions into the surrounding countryside. Outdoor activities such as hiking, biking or canoeing are popular.
Bouillon is closely linked in name and by history with Godfrey of Bouillon (Godefroy de Bouillon), the "most Christian of all knights".
Because of its favored location Bouillon, principal town of the old Duchy of Lower Lotharingia, was for hundreds of years an important link between the Eifel and Champagne.
