Historic public washhouse of Saint-Genoulf

Highlight • Historical Site

A recommendation to discover this historic cemetery in foggy weather or at dusk.
The fog or shadows give a mysterious atmosphere to the cemetery.
Not recommended for the faint of heart.

Basilica of Our Lady of Avioth

Highlight • Religious Site

The Basilica of Notre-Dame d'Avioth is a Gothic church dating from the 14th-15th century, of a surprising size for a village of 150 inhabitants. It has been classified as a French historic monument since 18402. The flamboyant Gothic building separated from the rest of the church is a unique architectural masterpiece of its kind. Every year in July, Our Lady of Avioth attracts pilgrims from all over the world. You can explore the basilica and its surroundings, admire the intricate stone carvings and the statue of the Black Madonna, and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of this rural sanctuary. The basilica is also a stop on the Via Arduinna, a pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela.
