The tiny village of Chardeneux is a rural haven, much to our delight! In this most beautiful village in Wallonia, discover the Chapel of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, a listed 12th-century Romanesque building. Don't miss the old courthouse, an imposing farmhouse, and the old washhouse bridge with its small staircase, which was once used for washing clothes. Throughout your visit, you'll pass by old houses and farms typical of the Condroz region from the 18th and 19th centuries. You can't miss them, with their characteristic U-shape.

Chardeneux is also home to the only blueberry (or bilberry) cultivation in Wallonia. During the season, you have the opportunity to pick the fruit yourself. It's a great family activity.

Not far from Chardeneux, visit the hamlet of Vervoz (or Vervo), a magnificent listed architectural ensemble situated opposite peaceful ponds. Its castle and outbuildings are well worth a visit!

Next to Chardeneux is also Bonsin, a small village known for the square tower of its church and for its many farms.

Are you with your family? The Condroz-Famenne region offers a treasure hunt: “Mes aventures d’enchanteur”. This series of 13 interactive walks invites you to help Fernand the carrier pigeon find his way back to his destination. A great opportunity to discover Chardeneux while having fun!

Chardeneux is fortunate to be surrounded by farms, especially cheese farms. If you're a cheese lover, this is the perfect destination!

At the Borlon goat farm, you can discover artisanal cheeses such as fresh goat cheese, tomme, and feta. The passionate owners invite you to spend time with the goats , cuddle the kids, or watch the milking, depending on the season. Finally, cheese workshops are offered to explore the behind-the-scenes aspects of cheesemaking .

Tomme de Botteresses, Pierre & Pôtre, Bleu d'Adèle, Boulette de Wallonie … These are just a few of the many cheeses made at Ferme du Gros Chêne in Méan. You can order cheese platters there for a meal, an after-dinner snack, a picnic, or even a hike! You'll also find excellent cheeses at Ferme de Méan, a cooperative.

La Ferme André, located in Méan, offers organic farm products : fruits and vegetables, chicken, bread, but also cleaning and beauty products.

Finally, one last farm worth a visit is La Ferme de la Bourgade in Heure. In addition to producing dairy products like milk, butter, and organic yogurt, they invite you to try farm golf. What's that? An accessible, family-friendly version of golf, with XXL balls and clubs, played right on the farm grounds, sometimes in the company of cows! After your round, you can relax in the brasserie located in the barn.
