Chevauchée du Chant d'Oiseaux

This walk takes you on a discovery of the Sclaigneaux Nature Reserve and the countryside around Vezin, Landenne and Seilles. Your route begins at the Reserve, where you will encounter the three ecosystems for which it is renowned: heathland, limestone grasslands and forest. Once you leave the Reserve, walk carefully along the road before entering the Bois de Foresse and Douze Bonniers woods. A little further on, you will come across the old Moulin Brichebo, a majestic residence hidden in a small, steep-sided valley. You then climb back up through the woods towards the centre of Vezin. Be careful, before reaching the road, you will encounter a narrow passage between two hedges (it is possible to go around it via Rue du Portail). Cross the road carefully and you will arrive at Ville-en-Waret, where pretty paths lead you to the charming, newly restored Sainte-Barbe Chapel. In the village streets, you will come across the Ferme d'Houssoy farm and its famous square tower. Cross the road again to reach the hamlet of Bellaire, where you take a magnificent path towards Hingeon. Continue to the hamlet of Troka, where you will discover the Saint-Hubert Chapel. Continue to Place Félix Moinnil before descending towards Landenne. You will then alternate between small village streets and paths through fields. You will pass a few beautiful farms, walk alongside the Church of Saint-Remy and then continue along paths through the countryside. You will bypass Seilles, but you will still be able to see the charming Church of Saint-Étienne, one of the five Romanesque churches in Andenne. You will end your walk on the heights of Seilles, walk alongside the cemetery and return to your starting point.
