Le Chalet Du Garde

Highlight • Cafe

From 1892 to today!
A growing number of tourists encouraged Léon Laurent to build a café restaurant in 1892 with a billiard room and bedrooms. It was the time of the arrival in the Bois d'Angre of the couple Mr. and Mrs. Verhaeren, famous poet and figure of the place who participated in the development of the site. Le Caillou-qui-Bique becomes the address to know.

In 2020, Aurélie Vilain is taking over "Le Chalet Du Garde" and intends to perpetuate the history of this emblematic place.
"Originally from Roisin, I grew up in the green valleys of Hauts-Pays and Caillou-qui-Bique, so it was only natural that this place came to the fore."

SCHEDULE :
OPEN ALL YEAR
Friday, Saturday, Sunday and public holidays from 11 a.m.

IN JUNE, JULY, AUGUST
Tuesday to Sunday and public holidays from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Le Caillou-qui-Bique

Highlight • Natural Monument

A legend has been perpetuated for generations on this 25 meter high stone planted on a ridge (in patois we say that it rocks).
A little step back in time...
Saint-Ghislain completes the construction of its abbey.
The devil decides that he will take advantage of the inauguration day to destroy the abbey and its occupants, by throwing an enormous stone found in the Pyrenees at the community.
An angel warns Saint-Ghislain of the imminent danger weighing on the abbey.
He gathers as many pairs of worn shoes as possible, which he slips into a huge bag and takes to the road to meet the evil one.
Coming across a poor fellow in rags with holes in his shoes at this place, the devil, quite exhausted by the heavy load, questions him: “Is the abbey of Saint-Ghislain still far away? ".
- “I’m coming from there, if it’s far!” » replies the old man while emptying his bag, filled with threadbare shoes, in front of the devil.
Discouraged and disappointed, Satan preferred to give up, dropping his heavy stone on the ground and walking away blaspheming, fooled by the subterfuge.
An hour and a half.
N.B.: some historians say that this is the legend of Saint Remacle, during the construction of Stavelot Abbey.
You are therefore free to substitute Remacle for Saint-Ghislain since this substitution does not modify the spirit of the story.
In both cases, the devil is defeated.

The Grande Honnelle is a surprising river that, together with its smaller brother, gave the name to the merged municipality of Honnelles.

From here, you enjoy a superb view of the Angre woods. Located in Honnelles, it is a forest renowned for the Caillou-qui-Bique, a 370 million year old pudding rock. This forest is home to rich biodiversity with oaks, ash trees and various rare species. A place of legends and hikes, the Angre woods is a precious natural site in Wallonia, managed by Natagora and other organizations to preserve its unique fauna and flora.
