Starting from the old Passe Peau mill on the Andenelle stream, this nature walk heads towards Coutisse and Les Arches Royales.I have no idea why this place is called Les Arches Royales, but it is quite charming and very quiet, whether visited by the King or the rest of the world: you will discover a few buildings and an old, isolated farm on the Andenne countryside plateau.Apart from the centre of the village of Coutisse, its church, its hospice and a few modern houses, the route offers nothing but countryside and woodland, passing by a few farms – some old, such as those at La Croix and Les Arches Royales, and others still in operation, such as Grosse.

A lovely walk along the Meuse hillsides. Where there are hillsides, there are slopes, and where there are slopes along the Meuse, one might expect vineyards. And there are plenty!
