Where Rimbaud and Verlaine used to
wander in the Belgian Ardennes, the ancient village of Redu became a
"Village du Livre" in 1984. It is situated in a very
peaceful region, la Haute-Lesse, and adorned by many picturesque
little towns and villages, like Saint-Hubert, Han-sur-Lesse,
Rochefort, Bouillon and La-Roche-en-Ardenne.
Redu is at a daytrip distance from the
South-East of Germany (Trier) and the North of France (Verdun).
Brussels, Liège and the city of
Luxemburg are relatively close (about 100 km).
Redu has 23 bookshops, several artshops
and a bakery where you can buy the special "pain de Redu".
After visiting (some of) the book and/or art shops and the spectacular Euro Space Center, you can enjoy the famous Belgian gastronomy. Soyez les bienvenus!
