Morning light slices across the Meuse as the private car eases out of Brussels and the Ardennes begin to rise—rock faces, river bends, and villages that look unchanged for centuries. The day starts underground at Lorette-Rochefort Cave, where calcite curtains and stalactites hang like slow-motion waterfalls, and then climbs to cliffside fortresses that watch the valley below.
