  Province of Luxembourg   -   the true Belgian Ardennes
The Province of Luxembourg is located in the Southeast of Belgium, bordered by the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg to the east and by France to the south. It's the largest province in Belgium of which almost one half is covered by forests.
This country of forests is also a 'land of rivers and streams'. The Ourthe, Semois, Lesse, Sûre and Aisne rivers have carved themselves some very picturesque valleys.
Except for the main centres of Bastogne, Bouillon, Durbuy, La Roche, Marche, Saint-Hubert and Virton which are themselves only small towns, the landscape is strewn with quaint little villages.

  Ferme des Bisons
Known under the generic name of "The Bison Farm", the tourist centre gives visitors the chance to learn more about this legendary animal.

The giants of Bastogne have been created in 1958. Trouffet, typical inhabitant of the Ardenne, is a legendary personage who's feats were told during long evenings. Marie-Jeanne was a merchant who made the reputation of the Ardenne ham. Their son, Tanta, is closer to the folklore of the city. You can meet the giants each year at the time of the carnival.
