the Stavelot Abbey
The Abbey was completely renovated by the Walloon Region between
1999 and 2002 for a sum of 16,000,000 €. The architects restored
its cloister to the monastery by building a new wing made of glass and
stainless steel on the foundations and within the same proportions of
the fourth wing destroyed after the French Revolution.

the Spa-Francorchamps racetrack
Since
the early 1920s, the Spa-Francorchamps circuit has resounded with a thousand
and one fabulous tales of those heroic times in which they drove on earth
roads at the wheel of awesome machines. Conceived by Liège aristocrats
within a magic triangle between Francorchamps, Malmédy and Stavelot,
its route through the magnificent scenery of the Ardennes has taken on
a force of character that has stood the test of time. Click here for

the "Thermes de Spa"
Since 1868, the water, present
al over in "Les Thermes de Spa", is particularly appreciated because
it is loaded with the strength of earth in this preserved environment.
Like
a revelation of the encounter between rocks, nature and "Les Fagnes",
the water is here the beneficial element that massages you, tones
and limbers you up as it has done in the past for the greatest
figures of the world.
