In this region, with its legendary forests, its abrupt escarpments, its tough climate, its difficult soil and its scattered, hardworking population, traditional products have been developed over two millennia, the fruits of nature, the climate, the passage of time and the work of man.
On the fringe of the main tour, visitors can also discover the multimedia exhibition about Ardennes ham and its history, and here too sensations and aromas are an important part of the experience.
A tour of discovery and sensation: from the aroma of ham being prepared to the crackle of the potter's kiln, experience the techniques, odours and sounds that craftsmen in centuries gone by lived every day.
"From the earth to the table" is the constant theme of the exhibitions: from pig to ham, from clay soil to stoneware pottery (essentially used for food purposes before becoming an art and craft object), spend an hour learning about the customs of our region.
And if you are tempted... why not complete your visit by sampling some traditional products: ham and beer from the Ardennes, handmade by local producers.
