From Celles, it’s possible to reach the Château de Vêves on foot by following a delightful walk, waymarked with a red diamond. From the village, you climb straight away towards the hermitage by following the steps of the “Chemin de Croix”. It offers a view of Celles, ranked one of the “Plus Beaux Villages de Wallonie” (The Most Beautiful Villages of Wallonia). The walk follows the crest line before going down again into the vale, at the foot of the castle. The itinerary then reaches Boisseilles before taking a path covered with limestone leading to Celles. Upon arriving at the village, it is lovely to stroll amid the walls of the limestone houses and their façades covered in flowers.

Vous verrez le rocher Bayard, une spectaculaire aiguille rocheuse d’une quarantaine de mètres de haut. Les voitures peuvent tout juste se frayer un passage entre les parois. Ce rocher est lié à la légende des 4 fils du comte Aymon de Dordone, vassaux de l’empereur Charlemagne et opposés à celui-ci. En fuite pour échapper au courroux de l’empereur, les 4 frères traversent la Meuse aidé par le cheval-fée Bayard. Le sabot du cheval a fendu la roche ici en deux en prenant son élan. Quelques kilomètres plus loin, vous arrivez à Anseremme.
Anseremme est un petit village situé dans la commune de Dinant, en Belgique. Il est situé sur les rives de la Meuse, au pied des collines boisées qui bordent la vallée de la Meuse.
