Les fermes de Terra Curiosa

The fortified farm of Balâtre dominates the valley of the Grand-Vaux, a tributary of the Ligne. This imposing fortified complex built of limestone rubble was developed as a quadrilateral from a medieval donjon. The huge barn dates from the 17th century. A square tower overlooks the pretty village square.

Stéphane and Françoise Vandecandelaere of Coqueron Farm sell directly from the producer to the consumer: strawberries (May-June), chicory (October to April) and potatoes (all year round)

The hamlet of Tongrenelle once boasted a fortress of the earldom of Namur, first mentioned in 1209. The castle fell into ruins and was completely demolished in 1860. Today only the manor farm that preceded the castle still survives. The buildings date from the 17th and 18th centuries. The moats fed by the Ligne lend a certain charm to the site.

In 2013, the Bertinchamps farm/brewery developed in the countryside around Gembloux. In a setting brimming with character, within a farm laid out in a square dating back over seven centuries, the Humblet family offer old-fashioned farm beers made with pure malt and hops, without spices or additives. Bertinchamps is available as a blonde beer (6.2°), a brown beer (7°) or a triple beer (8°). The label bears a large capital B, a reference to Bertinchamps, Belgium, Beer and Benoît, the master brewer.
