Camping La Roche

There’s only one place to start your tour of the local area, and that’s in La Roche-en-Ardenne itself, wandering around the 11th-century castle (which often hosts bird of prey displays) and riverside sculpture park. You can hire kayaks and play miniature golf in town too. There are lots of places to get out for walks nearby, on the banks of the river or through nearby forests – if you need a few ideas, perhaps try hikes around the Barrage de Nisramont (20 minutes’ drive), the Domain of the Caves of Han (40 minutes) or the Waterfalls of Coo (40 minutes). A trip to the treetop trails of Parc Chlorophylle (20 minutes) should be on the cards too if you’d like to see some of the scenery from a few metres off the ground. Family days out are plentiful around here: meet the animals at Le Parc à Gibier, learn a bit about the past at Musée de la Bataille des Ardennes (both five minutes), or aim for the stars with an outing to the Euro Space Center (35 minutes). And might an insight into the making of the sweet treats at Chocolatier Defroidmont (half an hour) be a tasty way to spend some time?
