Mélin : Walk of the "Censes"
A stone’s throw from Jodoigne, Mélin is set in hilly agricultural landscape with surrounding woodland. The brightness of this village catches the eye. Its sumptuous buildings, largely built using the local white Gobertange stone, give the village a radiant glow. Traditional buildings and impressive farmhouses with magnificent porches, reminiscent of lords and ladies, are dotted along the way. Beautiful sunken lanes and many viewpoints over the sprawling Hesbaye countryside give this walk a particular appeal.

La Villa du Hautsart
Easily one of the region’s most charming settings. The old Gobertange (a local hamlet) stones play a big part in this. The green surroundings, the open fire and large bay windows do the rest. Olivier Wilbers makes use of his own vegetable garden which provides his team day to day with seasonal produce to delight diners.

A big fan of local produce, he prepares seasonal French cuisine. You can enjoy generous dishes at reasonable prices (lunch for €25). Laetitia Haumont provides a hospitable welcome and every effort is made to provide an excellent experience for foodies looking for new discoveries. A place not to be missed!”
