Visit Belgium - 12/589 – Chimay - Castle, Abbey, Cheese and the ‘Lac de Virelles’

A Belgian Challenge, I would like to visit all 589 Belgian Municipalities. In this video visit Chimay, a municipality in the province of Hainaut.

Chimay is famous for its beer and cheese, but there is so much more to explore in this area!

We started the day in the center of Chimay where we visited the castle of Chimay. The history of the Castle of the Princes of Chimay goes back to the year 1000. Today the family still lives there and we met one of the princesses!!

After a walk in the center and a visit to the church of saints Pierre and Paul, we took the car and made a stop at the Espace Chimay. We had a wonderful lunch and tasted the different kind of Chimay cheeses.

We continued our day to the abbey of Scourmont and we saw the ‘L’oise’ spring.

The weather was not very good and we hesitated to visit the Aquascope of Virelles, which is situated at the lake of Virelles (natural reserve). I was happy we decided to visit this place because it was stunning! The views took my breath away!

Last stop of the day was the village of Lompret, which holds the title of ‘one of the most beautiful villages of Wallonia’.
