I live not far from where I was born, but not quite the same town. I do go to the same church where I was christened though. The Ardennes is a beautiful part of Europe, and you should visit sometime, after covid19 is defeated maybe.
@Zaphod42 [quote]and much older houses[/quote] The notion of "old" and "new" is totally different in Europe and in America. A church that's only 200 years old would be considered "old", in America. In Europe, it's more or less a newly built church. 馃榿
@CynicGirl We don't really have the weather, the beach, ... etc. But if you are looking for another form of vacation, there are some things you can see.
@CynicGirl Old cities, art, beer, historical places and you can eat pretty well out here. And well, we have some nice places to go too if you want nature but I wouldn't really call us a top contender in that spot. We are densily poppulated after all.
@SW-User There are a lot of war-monuments and important places you can visit. A lot of people died in those mountains/hills [i](because they aren't that high)[/i] during the last offensive of the German forces.
@SW-User Who would have thought. BTW, that tiger tank in your picture. You'll find one exactly like that one, at the outside of the Bastogne war museum. I visited that when I was much younger.
The bottom of the tank is ripped open by explosives. And it was abandoned. So Bastogne used it as a monument.
