You can walk all the way around the ramparts. We found it unique and impressive. The museum was also interesting.

Very pretty viewpoint, right next to the ruins of Montquintin Castle. Small benches for a pleasant break. Accessible to people with reduced mobility.

Under the NATO agreements, the air forces across the Atlantic established strategic bases in Europe, including Marville, in the Meuse department (France). In 1955, Virton, like Florenville and Longuyon in France, welcomed hundreds of Canadian military pilots from the 1st Wing seeking refuge for themselves and their families. The Canadian period was deeply affecting the lives of the residents of Virton, and such strong bonds of friendship were forged that a celebration was organized for their departure on March 11, 1967. The totem from Canada that they presented to Virton and Longuyon in France was a special sign of recognition and gratitude for the excellent way in which the residents had welcomed the Canadians. This gesture has special significance, as totems held a deeper meaning among Native Americans. In 1992, the original totem, which had been severely damaged, was recreated identically by Claude Goffinet and inaugurated on October 30th. (Visit Wallonia)

On the edge of a wooded massif, where the climate is favorable for growing wine, lies Torgny, Belgium's southernmost village. The houses here, built of yellow sandstone with Roman roof tiles, are striking, lending a Mediterranean flair. A truly beautiful sight. No wonder this place is considered one of the most beautiful villages in Wallonia.

The remains of Montquintin Castle stand on a ridge overlooking the Ton valley. The once feudal castle was built on the orders of Louis II, Count of Chiny. After a turbulent history, the castle fell victim to a fire in 1869. Since then, it has stood as a ruin high above the Ton river valley.
