The bronze horses
The bronze horses were made after a model by Pierre-Jules Mene, a French sculptor who belonged to the great 19th century ‘Animalier’ movement.
The Hédrée and the Wamme
The small niche on your left, dedicated to Our Lady of Foy, dates from 1853.
From the small footbridge, you can observe, on your right, the meeting between two rivers: the Hedrée and the Wamme.
Hargipont picnic area
Tip: if you’d like to add a touch of ‘nature’ to your walk, you need to make a 2km long (1.2 miles) detour towards the Hargipont footbridge over the Wamme, where a picnic area will be created in 2011. If this is the case, beyond the bridge on the Rue Saint-Gobert, take the uphill road, Rue de Genal, then turn left, Rue de Binte. After a ten minutes walk, take the downhill path towards the footbridge. The footbridge takes you to the ‘Pisciculture de la Wamme’(i.e. the Wamme fish farm), that can only be visited by appointment (different species of traditionally raised trout and brook trout are farmed and marketed here - Tel : 0032-84/22.17.10). Retrace your steps to go back to the church.
