Things to do in The Ardennes, Wallonia: The Best Monuments & Statues
A smorgasbord of flavors come from this lofty land in the hilly southeast of Belgium: game, wild boar, venison, smoked ham, the region's famous paté and world-renowned Trappist beers. Primarily located in Belgium, the Ardennes mountains also nudge into France and Luxembourg. Dense forests flank the steep hillsides, and market towns and villages perch on river banks. Spring and summer show this lush area at its best, but cross country skiing opportunities make a good case for winter visits.

This star shaped memorial with all the 50 states wrapped around it is a tribute to the men and women, because women also died in WWII, who came here, faught here and ended their lives here so that the world would be a better place for everyone. As a soldier and has a daughter, whose Father fought here and returned, We should All honor our fallen. We came in winter to remember what it was like 75 years ago, in this cold winter days.

An impressive and interesting museum about the massacre that took place here in 1944. A large collection of articles from both the German and Allied troops. Accompanied by some very personal accounts to make it all come more to live and told via a personal audio tour. I never realised how intense and gruelling the battle of Bastogne had been. I highly recommend this museum. Although the kids thought it a little too detailed and long winded (audio tour)

Sitting on a bench in front of Sax's house, in Dinant. A beautiful statue to enjoy and join the legend.

8. McAuliffe Square

Best point to meet with tour guides/start tours, or begin to see the town. Lots of restaurants located on this square including a small visitor center. Also an easy place to park, albeit paid parking. The Sherman tank at edge of the square is easy to spot and was itself knocked out during the battle here, worth seeing though. Great spot to jump off into seeing Bastogne and the surrounding countryside.
