Full text | ot to Liege. REMOUCHAMPS. Route 31. 345 cgiem the visitor should procure a blouse at the inn to keep his 2gress clean; he must also obtain candles and a guide. As the dtath is wet and slippery, ladies who are at all timid had better + hot visit them: the grottos, which form one branch of an immense je7stem of caverns of several leagues in extent, are traversed hy ‘2 small streams, supposed to be the same as those which bury saemselves underground at Mont-RouGE and aé ADSEUX. ‘I In the neighbourhood there are several places, (called in Wal- ic)on, chantoirs, ) where streams suddenly disappear underground, 4 |, g. 3 different chantoirs near Decné&z, and another near Hops- 4jpames, where 3 streams which flow from the heights of Sprimont pind Florzée unite in a valley of poplars and then suddenly disap- cseear at the foot of a rock. The chantoir of ApsEux is. however rs aihe most picturesque and best worth visiting; it is 3 m. from ‘ereiemouchamps on the hill above, as the name of the village, a camorruption of Au-dessus, signifies ; the stream here, after a rapid i bend noisy descent of about 250 yds. over a rocky bed which forms ‘ovayeral cascades, divides itself into 3 branches and enters a thickly odvooded copse where it buries itself in a cavern; this cavern can 5 #e entered, but the descent is rapid and very slippery.

John de swrofornes after the battle fought on the Pont des Arches at Liege i jn 4488. | The landlord at Remouchamps generally attempts to dissuade scavellers from following the course of the river on foot by assur- jag them that it is impossible to do so without occasionally ford- g it; this is in order to induce them to hire a boat to Dou- amme, 6 1/2 m. from here, which costs 10 francs. It is however sii tite possible, by following the route traced here, to accomplish oj; othe journey, a very picturesque one, dry-footed. On leaving Re- iosramouchamps follow the road along the 1. bank to AYWAILLE, where, gm 13 Sept. 1794, after an obstinate resistance, the Austrians , ovaivere defeated by the French republicans ; (about 3 m. from here (; om the road to Houffalise is the ruined castle of Harzée) ; then ross the river by the suspension-bridge, keep along its rt. bank, ascend the hill about a mile lower down, on the top of which are + gthe ruins of the Castle des 4 fils Aymon, (a royal villa of othe VIIL cent., anciently called Neufchatean, in which Grippo, ‘croungest son of Charles Martel, was imprisoned in 742 alter the suaking of Laon by his brothers Pepin and Carloman; in the fT |
