Description
Bouillon is a picturesque town in the Belgian Ardennes near the French border. It is best known for the Château de Bouillon, one of Belgium's most significant medieval fortresses, which rises above a dramatic bend of the Semois River, as well as for the river's scenic meanders that shape the surrounding landscape. Closely associated with Godfrey of Bouillon and the First Crusade, the town is one of Belgium's most historically significant destinations. Its charming old town, the forests of the Ardennes, and an extensive network of hiking and cycling trails make Bouillon a popular destination for both history enthusiasts and outdoor lovers.
