Culinary Delights in the Binche Region

During this day, you’ll visit the workshop of an artisan chocolatier; you’ll discover the recipes for making original and unique cheeses; you’ll learn how to recognise traditional vegetables; and you’ll also visit two famous traditional breweries.

In addition to your tasting sessions, enjoy visiting the lovely medieval city and the Belfry of Binche; or one of the museums of La Louvière; and not forgetting one of the region’s “must-see” attractions listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site!

Be sure to visit the Maison du Tourisme (Tourist Office) where you can find its twelve original teas, the twelve identities associated with twelve boroughs of the region, and other regional produce.
