Where to practice an individual sport Hainaut belge

Located near Brussels and in the heart of the valleys of Ittre and Nivelles, the golf course Château de la Tournette is regularly cited among the most beautiful golf courses in the world because it is dominated by a splendid 16th century castle. It offers three courses on a 160-hectare estate: two championship golf courses - the American and the English - and a beautiful compact course: the Orival, a 9-hole course that can be used for training or for beginners. In the heart of the club house, you can come and have a drink or lunch with a dish of local specialities.

Starting from the Maison du Pays des Collines, this path will take you through the village of Ellezelles, and you will discover all its folklore. All along the path are works of the local artist Jacques Vandewattyne (1932-1999), pioneer of the folk-art movement. This path has become an attraction in Belgian Hainaut over the years, where visitors can admire statues and engravings inspired by Ellezellois traditions: the devil with a fiddle, the green goat and the witch Eul Pichoûre. If it rains, bring boots!

This program combines two Belgian passions: cycling and beer. Departing from the Centre nautique de l'Orient (or from the tourist office if you've booked a bike), you're ready to pedal your way through the Tournais countryside and along the Péronnes canal with the help of knot points. Three itineraries are proposed, but all aim at the Dubuisson brewery (which brews Bush, one of Belgium's strongest beers) to enjoy a guided tour of their facilities (Saturdays, 3pm) or the Beerstorium (open daily), before returning to Tournai.
