Camping de Renval

The lively town of Bastogne is less than a kilometre from Camping de Renval and famed for its role in the Battle of the Bulge, when it was besieged by German troops for a week in December 1944. The Mardasson Memorial, commemorating the role of American soldiers who died or were wounded during the Battle of the Bulge, is one of the several World War II memorials and museums in town: see also the 101st Airborne Museum, covering the 1944 siege; the tanks and military vehicles of the Bastogne Barracks museum, and the recreation of the Battle of the Bulge at the Bastogne War Museum. Also in town, have a look at the fourteenth century walls the Porte de Trèves and then the Middle Ages font and Romanesque tower of St Pierre's Church, followed by a coffee and a lounge around the town's Carré square.
