A hike that offers panoramic views of magnificent valleys and, above all, the Wanze. Gottignies is a beautiful village in the municipality of Le Roeulx, nestled between two hills. The church of St Léger has recently been renovated. Several walking routes are available. Here, the 20 km route is used by the village walking group, "Les Marcheurs Gottignards"

The name of this village is said to come from the presence of a Roman villa built along the Haine River. In the16th century, the name "Ville-sou-Haynne" was used, then it evolved into "Villa-Super-Hoeniam" (1240), "Ville-Sour-Haine" (1293), "Ville-sur-Haysne" (1660) and "Ville-Sur-Heine" (1744). Ville-sur-Haine was devastated twice by the French army. In 1963, the area around the square was destroyed to make way for the Canal du Centre. This walk will take you mainly along the towpaths of the Canal du Centre and the Canal du Centre Historique.
