Couvin

Couvin sits on the Eau Noire in Wallonia, Belgium, where the limestone belt of the Calestienne meets the wooded Ardennes near the French border. The river shapes the town’s setting before joining the Eau Blanche at nearby Nismes to form the Viroin. In Petigny, part of the Couvin municipality, the Caves of Neptune follow underground passages carved through limestone by the Eau Noire. Couvin was also an ironworking centre, drawing on local ore, woodland charcoal and waterpower. Its surroundings reward unhurried exploration of southern Wallonia’s forests, river valleys and geological sites.
