Hidden gem of the Gaume region in southern Belgium: the tiny village of Torgny, famous for its sunny local climate and its traditional buildings

Torgny is in the Gaume region in the province of Luxemburg, south of the Ardennes and surrounded by France on three sides. The village enjoys a micro climate, so it is well suited for vineyards. Even when, only a few kilometers away, people go skiing in the Ardennes, the Gaume has barely seen a snowflake. The local wines aren’t the only thing that may remind you here of France. Because of the rolling hills, the honey-coloured houses and the abundance of flowers, Torgny has the feel of the French Provence region. This is truly a holiday spot.
In Torgny, the Roman-tiled roofs radiate the sun. As soon as you approach, you can sense the magic of the micro-climate: it is so mild here! The route climbs due south and there, all becomes clear. The slopes stretch out before you. A winegrowing tradition, born in Roman times, continues today with the production of a delicious white wine.
Typical Gaume landscapes are due to nature as well as to agriculture. Our forests are spread over three cuestas (gentle slopes opposed to steep slopes). The hills are made of erosion-resistant rocks while the valleys are made up of alluvial deposits. As a result, it’s normal to find woods on top of the hills and agriculture in the valleys.
