Departure from Thilay (Ardennes)
A beautiful route in the Semoy Valley at Thilay and its hamlets, focusing on the heritage of old wash houses and fountains. These 19th- and early 20th-century buildings allowed residents to collect water and wash their clothes. Two types of wash house can be seen on this route: vaulted structures resting on the rock on the hillside, or those built from schist slabs in the village.
