Le pont Marie-Thérèse
On the N89, before arriving in the village of Maissin, follow the sign towards Villance. A little further on, a stone road descends to the right. The bridge is 100 m further on. It is also accessible on foot via the "Promenade des Ponts" (yellow sign No. 1). This four-arch bridge between Transinne and Maissin dates from the 18th century. Legend has it that Empress Maria-Theresia had it built after an accident she suffered while crossing the Lesse on horseback.

La Pierre du diable
On the so-called "Wez de Bouillon" along the Lesse, there is a large rock just a few steps from the river. This enigmatic rock has a gully at the top that curves from the centre towards the edge. This perfectly smooth gully allows some drainage and, according to popular belief, the stone is said to have been used as an altar for bloody sacrifices and is said to have been given the name "Devil's Stone" because of this cursed memory. At this point, a long wooden footbridge leads to the other side of the river.
