History
Economy
The village is served by regular bus services to Namur and Dinant.
At the Château white and sparkling wines, a little reminiscent of Riesling, are produced using varieties of Johanniter, Muscaris and Pinotin grapes, grown locally, having been adapted to survive a climate that is only just warm enough to support viticulture.
