Torgny village, a must see place at the southernmost tip of Belgium

 Welcome to the village of Torgny, one of the most beautiful village of Wallonia, nested in the heart of the Gaume, the belgian part of the Lorraine region

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.

(This must be Belgium)

This area situated in the southeast of Belgium, in the province of Luxemburg, is also known as Belgium’s Provence. Its hills are a little lower than the rest of the Ardennes. But its temperatures are often 1 to 3°C higher than the other parts of the province, due to its microclimate. What I love most about the Gaume are the beautiful forests, the charming towns, the extremely winding river Semois and its many view points.

Gaume is the romanesque part of Belgian Lorraine. It is not an administrative region of Belgium but a historico-geographic region forming a strong cultural identity. It is a French-speaking region, with a romance regional language, “the gaumais”, which is part of the romance dialects of Lorraine, one of the languages ​​identified by the linguistic Atlas of Wallonia. (…) The microclimate of Gaume is known to be much sweeter than the rest of the Ardennes which overlooks it to the north and the little cicada of the mountains and the praying mantis still haunt the slopes of Torgny, the most southern village in Belgium.
