In July I was on a nice trip to Wallonia. This formerly heavily industrialized region of Belgium is still undergoing massive structural change, but it is already not stingy with attractions, especially since it also has an extremely large number of cultural treasures (cathedrals, churches, rococo town houses, etc.) from times before industrialization. I can only recommend this region as a travel destination – especially since Charleroi, with its Marcinelle district, is one of the birthplaces of European comics!
