As part of the Wallonian Water Days, the Royal Office of Tourism of Arlon offers a conference "Mémoire de Semois" on Wednesday, March 26th at the Palais. It will be presented by Dominique Billion.
The Semois, stretching 210 kilometers, meanders from Arlon to the Meuse at Monthermé, passing through Lorraine, Gaume, and Ardenne. Between its source and mouth lies a 1350 km² basin of biodiversity, history, legends, and remarkable heritage. Traveling the Semois, from one bank to the other, is a journey back in time, from Roman times to the present, passing through the Middle Ages. It involves engaging with legends, from the grotto of Saint Remacle to the Fairy Table. It's about discovering the still-thriving tobacco culture, enjoying traditional gastronomy, and marveling at its painters such as Barthélemy, Raty, Howet, and many others.
Dominique Billion delves into the Semois, its roots, and history. Enthralled by this magical river, he has dedicated years of work, consulted dozens of documents, and pored over numerous archives. We thought we knew the Semois, but we were mistaken. Come to the conference by Dominique Billion, who fills this gap with his work "Mémoire de Semois".
