Virton Attractions

The little town of Virton, at the extreme southern tip of Belgium right on the French border, is situated at the confluence of the rivers Vire and Ton.

Virton is to a large extent dependent on tourism and is an excellent base for excursions in the surroundings.

Numerous finds testify that the area was settled in Neolithic, Roman and Merovingian times. Virton itself developed from the Roman foundation of Vertunum. From the 16th C. a thriving iron casting industry developed here.
