Spa, the "Pearl of the Ardennes", the Ardenne Bleue, has been a tourist destination for its waters since the 16th century. Spa is even the spa capital of the world... But the region is also rich in sites of interest. Stavelot, with its abbey, the folklore of the Blancs Moussis, the Coo waterfall and the world-famous Francorchamps circuit... Jalhay, with the Gileppe dam and panoramic tower... Theux, a melting pot of citizens' freedoms in 1789, but also proud of its Château de Franchimont (home of the Six-Cent Franchimontois who attempted a rebellion against the Prince-Bishop of Liège)... Trois-Ponts, its walks in the Ardennes forests in summer, Belgium's longest downhill ski slope in winter... These are just a few of the sites that explain why this region is sometimes referred to as the "Golden Triangle". Tourism is king here, and has been for a long time!The calendar is packed with festivities. Just think of the mega-events such as the Francofolies or the Festival de théâtre each summer, or, in a completely different genre, the F1 Grand Prix or the 24h of Francorchamps. The Spa Tribute Festival, classical music concerts, winter celebrations, the Casino, the Thermes... everything is organized to ensure that the little town never sleeps. The casino, a gambler's paradise, is never empty. It dates back to 1762. A little earlier, the town welcomed the crowned heads of Europe to bathe here. Today, the theater and its small salons welcome many new discoveries and renowned artists. On Sunday mornings, second-hand dealers gather here to the delight of bargain hunters from far and wide. Numerous boutiques welcome tourists and contribute to the town's fame and charm.In the surrounding area. In the Pays des Sources, you'll find Jalhay, a magnificent village where life is good. The landscape is remarkable. Not far away, the Barrage de la Gileppe and its panoramic tower climb to a height of 77 m. From up there, the view is breathtaking. At Theux and its medieval castle, storytellers are in the mood. Ask them to tell you the legend of the Stone of Seven Macrals. If you're a lover of romance, why not head off to discover Lac de Waarfaz? And don't forget to visit Trois-Ponts, a region renowned for its snow sports, and the Hautes-Fagnes, with its stunning scenery.
