Panorama of Tige Street
Take a look at the beautiful panorama of the Ligne Valley. Straight ahead lies the village of Ligny; to the left, that of Sombreffe with its church steeple; and to the right, you can see in the distance the Fleurus water tower, near which stands the Naveau mill, which served as an observatory for Napoleon.

The Goffe
At the picturesque place called La Goffe, the waters of the Sombre cascade through a wall of reddish rubble. Its waters then spread out and were used for washing clothes in medieval times. Later, the Goffe was used as a watering hole where herds once came to quench their thirst.
