Mellet

In 1977, five villages (Frasnes-lez-Gosselies, Mellet, Rèves, Villers-Perwin and Wayaux) came together to form the commune of Les Bons Villers. Mellet was a municipality in its own right before the merger of the municipalities.

• An old Roman road separates Mellet from the neighbouring village of villers-Perwin. Its layout is still very visible.
• The Dungeon of Mellet, the only vestige of the old medieval castle, is today a tourist center. We can find a local museum inside of it.
• The birthplace of Saint Mutien-Marie (Louis-Joseph Wiaux) (1841-1917) can be found behind the church.

• A theatre group regularly gives performances in Walloon language.
• A riding school called Le Relais du Maitreya offers riding lessons.
• The village has had its own music group, the Harmonie Royale de Mellet, since 1893.
• The village also has a Scout unit.
