Bouillon
Things To Do
The Castle or Château Fort provides a great afternoon’s entertainment for all the family. It’s full of narrow passageways, hidden nooks and crannies and dark dungeons, making for great exploration. In July and August, it’s also possible to take a night-time guided tour by torchlight, which makes the visit really atmospheric and evokes the feel of medieval castle life.
Every year from March to November falconry demonstrations are held at the Castle. Known as the Ballet des Rapaces, this extensive programme is a celebration of the beauty of birds of prey. There are several shows at various times daily. The sight of these magnificent birds in full flight is truly breathtaking and makes a visit to the castle an amazing experience.
No visit to Belgium would be complete without a visit to a brewery. Bouillon has its own brewery, Le Marché de Nathalie, whose main specialities are the Cuvée de Bouillon (a blonde beer) and Médiévale (an amber ale). The brewery shop sells over 300 varieties of beer, some of which are brewed on the premises.
