Presentation :

9.30 a.m.-12.30 p.m.: (alternating)
Guided tour of Ligny en Barrois
Get right to the heart of the Luxembourgs’ town by following its heritage discovery trail. From the Church of Our Lady of Virtues (église Notre-Dame des Vertus) to the France Gate (Porte de France), follow in the footsteps of the canons with a walk along the old battlements and see the Valéran Tower which, at 22 metres high, still seems to be keeping watch over the town walls. The walk ends with the Parc du Luxembourg, an 8-hectare listed location on the banks of the River Ornain, one of the most delightful walks in the Bar district, in the shade of trees hundreds of years old. Tasting event – the Lorgnon Linnéen
The story goes that Léonie mistook a pot of praline for a pot of redcurrant jam after she herself had deseeded the fruit. Nowadays, the story is remembered in the “lorgnon linnéen” (Ligny pince-nez), a wonderful chocolate delight made by Cyril Demée. You will hear all about the legend of Léonie and watch a film showing the various stages in the making of the chocolate. This is followed by a demonstration of dipping the various centres of the chocolates and, of course, a tasting session!
12.45 p.m.: Lunch in a rustic setting, including drinks
Local Crudités / Lorraine Pie / Roast Veal / Cheeseboard (four cheeses) and Mixed Salad / Seasonal Dessert: ice creams, regional tarts. Coffee, Tea, Herbal Tea.
