Saint-Hubert Attractions

 
The little town of Saint-Hubert, which is visited by many pilgrims, lies in the center of the Ardennes amid a wooded region full of game. According to legend Prince Hubert of Aquitaine was hunting in the surrounding forests in 683 when he saw a stag with a shining cross between its antlers, and a voice demanding that he dress as a priest and take up missionary work. Hubert became the first Bishop of Liège after he had renounced the bishopric of Tongeren on the Meuse. He died in 727 in Tervuren and his remains were brought in 825 to Andage which from that day was called Saint-Hubert.

The painter and botanist Pierre-Joseph Redouté was born in Saint-Hubert in 1759.
