Chimay (03) - Walk between the lakes

We recommend giving yourself a day to make the most of this wonderful walk of 21 kilometres. With a varied landscape, it is sure to be of interest to sporty types. In wet weather, bring good waterproof shoes. The Virelles estate probably dates back to the 8th century. When visiting the village, you can discover traces of the history of the 2 seigneuries in Virelles. The first, "Virelles-comté" (county), was part of Beaumont, like the village of Vaulx. The second, "Virelles-principauté" (prinicipality), was owned by several families, including the De Croys and the Jacquiers. In 1445, the Duke of Burgundy annexed it to the Seigneury of Chimay.
