  • The Belgian village of Crupet has been named one of Europe's 20 most beautiful villages by German magazine Geo.
  • Crupet, located in the province of Namur, is known for its traditional houses, old mills, narrow streets, and historical sites like the Saint-Martin church and medieval keep.
  • Esch-sur-Sûre in Luxembourg, also recognized by Geo, was previously named the most beautiful village in Wallonia in 2021.

The charming Belgian village of Crupet, nestled in the green valleys of the Condroz region in the province of Namur, has earned a spot among Europe's 20 most beautiful villages, according to German magazine Geo. Crupet, already recognized as one of Wallonia's most beautiful villages, captivates visitors with its traditional houses, historic mills, narrow lanes, and picturesque gardens. The Saint-Martin church and a medieval keep, situated on a small lake, add to its historical allure. A unique artificial cave, known as the Devil's Grotto, also draws many visitors. This latest recognition follows Crupet's 2021 title as the most beautiful village in Wallonia, awarded by RTBF. Another Belgian village, Esch-sur-Sûre in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, also made Geo's list. Located in the Sauer valley, at the foot of Luxembourg's oldest castle, this Ardennes village offers stunning views from its ruins and medieval streets. The surrounding forests provide ample opportunities for hiking.
