Reg Jans Battlefield Experience - Day Tours

Reviewed By Soetkinvc

Are you interested in the personal stories behind the heroes of the battle of the Bulge? Then Reg is your man. Not only did he personally meet and befriend a lot of veterans, he also guided the crew of band of brothers. Reg is one of the most passionate story tellers we've ever met. He knows all kinds of anecdotes about Bastogne and basically devoted his life to passing on these stories. This guy will take you on a tour that you'll never forget and would want your children and grandchildren to witness as well. We think the contribution of Reg to passing on this legacy in the vivid and profound way he does, is of an invaluable importance. Thanks again Reg!

Visited on a family holiday in August. You need to show up at the gate at given hour. This is no "anytime entry, wonder by yourself museum" but active military base, where the whole group needs to be escorted at all times. Great Bastogne siege display/reconstruction, very knowledgable tour guide (a sargeant in Belgian army), then the main attraction - huge garage with all the great tanks and armoured vehicles. My boys were so happy. A must do for any World of Tanks player. The price of entry is very low - 8 EUR per adult (card payment only), kids go free! Excellent!!!

Bastogne Battle of the Bulge Guided Tours

I am a retired career artillery officer of the Belgian Army and witness of the Battle of the Bulge, borne in 1936. I do private and customized tours in and around Bastogne and the entire area of the Battle of the Bulge. I also lead groups and battle rides. My expertise is the result of several factors: my own memories and study of the battle, a lonf stay in the area still impregnated with the battle,countless contacts with the veterans and a strong military background.

Bulge Relics Museum

It's in a historic building situated in Joubiéval that the « Bulge Relics Museum » presents on several floors battlefield relics that were recovered from the battlefields of Vielsalm, Lierneux and at the Baraque de Fraiture crossroads. A didactical path through pictures, displays, vehicles and sceneries makes you relive those dark days of winter 1944 which saw US forces face mainly the elite troops of the SS panzerdivisions. Thousands of artifacts that, directly risen from that time, depict the everyday living of these men dragged by the storm of the battle. The museum will be opened from June up to September at weekends from 13 til 17 pm. It will also possible to visit it during the weeks as well as on special occasions but on appointment only. Schools : A special didactical file to be printed can be mailed in advance to teachers.

The tour of the Bulge Relics Museum was the highlight of the group's visit to the area, which also included stops at local monuments and battlefield positions. The collection of uniforms, weapons, general supplies and artifacts is terrific and the condition of many items on display is excellent. The stories and information presented by the curator / guide conducting our tour was exceptionally interesting. If you are in the Ardennes, a visit to this hidden gem is definitely worth the time and entrance fee.

Orval Abbey

Reviewed By Robert170879 - Remich, Luxembourg

I love Orval beer and visited the abbey many times as solo or with friends as well. It is always a pleasant way to kill some time, like an hour and a half. Afterwards, in the vicinity, you can get some crispy or old beers. In the abbey you can learn on brewing process and history as well. The scene is nice and not too stuffed with tons of information but also you get the basics you need. To visit the new monastery there are only 2 possibilities in each year I think, and the brewery itself also. So what you can see are the ruins of the old monastery and some gardens, exhibition rooms etc... Once I'll sign up for the visit of the operating part.

101 Airborne Museum Le Mess - Bastogne

Reviewed By scottp372 - Ottawa, Canada

This 101st Airborne Museum is a tribute to the men of the American 101st Airborne Division who were surrounded and held off German forces who tried to take Bastogne. The museum holds many artifacts from the Battle of the Bulge, ranging from weapons, uniforms, and equipment, both American and German. There are glass-enclosed displays of life-sized wax figures of soldiers and civilians as well as audio recordings describing the battle, Not to be missed is the air raid shelter in the basement of the museum where one can go inside a room where there is an audio-visual account of the battle taking place where the traveler can get an account in how the battle was going on while sitting in the air-raid shelter. You can hear a dog barking, tanks rumbling, an airplane dropping a bomb shattering glass and rifle and machine- gun fire, all from the inside of the shelter wondering what it was like to have endured the sounds of the fighting. This museum is a gem and well worth the visit

Parc Forestier Recreatif Chlorophylle

Reviewed By cliog93 - The Hague, The Netherlands

A really lovely place to explore and be at one with nature. We learnt a lot about local species and plants and felt very relaxed as you’re able to do the route at your own place (leisurely it took us about 2hrs) Great for kids with lots of playground areas and ideal for picnics with stunning views. It was not busy at all when we went although the weather was lovely, which really made the visit all the more peaceful and enjoyable. Outdoor fun for all ages. Highly recommend!
