Just a stone’s throw from Brussels, the Pays des 4 Bras is a land of contrasts where the beauty of the landscapes and the natural riches are combined with the abundance of historical and archaeological remains. The ruins of Villers Abbey, nestled in the heart of the forest of the Thyle Valley (Natura 2000 site), are classified as an exceptional heritage site in Wallonia. They stand in a remarkable and rejuvenating natural setting that has lost none of its appeal.
