City:
Starting at one end of the Blanc-Ry neighbourhood, the route heads towards the ponds and wetlands of the Lauzelle woods before heading east south of the Blocry neighbourhood towards the golf course, which you cross from one end to the other.
After a quick visit to the Lauzelle arboretum, the walk heads towards the William Lenox Neurological Centre and then turns towards the Monastery of St-André de Clerlande.
All that remains is an (almost) straight downhill stretch to return to the starting point.
Walk in the Bois de Lauzelle
This 'short' family walk allows you to discover the Lauzelle woods and the Louvain-la-Neuve golf course.
