Departure from Aubange (Province de Luxembourg)
This route straddles a linguistic border, the one that divides Belgian Lorraine into two cultural zones.
To the west lies the Gaume, characterised by Gaumais, a Lorraine dialect of Latin origin.
To the east, the Pays d’Arlon is characterised by a Germanic dialect, Moselle Franconian.
The place-names, sometimes Latin and sometimes Germanic, allow you to trace the course of this cultural boundary.
