                                               Rochefort (see p215), in the
                                               Province of Namur, is one of
                                               many places in the Ardennes
                                               to have an extensive cave
                                               system (see pp212–13). The
                                               Grotte de Lorette-Rochefort has
                                               a visitor centre, from where
                                               paths lead sharply down for 80
                                               m (262 ft), past encrustations of
                                               stalactites and stalagmites, to
                                               halls of vast, rugged rock.

                                               Bouillon (see pp234–7), located
                                               in the south of the Ardennes,
                                               is famous for its picturesque
                                               medieval castle set on a rocky spur
                                               near the Semois. Once the home of
                                               the 11th-century crusader knight
                                               Godefroi de Bouillon, the castle
                                               now forms a romantic backdrop to
                                               this quiet and elegant little town.
