The Alle-sur-Semois Flint Museum
Alle-sur-Semois is also home to one of Belgium's most unusual museums: the Flint Museum (Musée du Silex), located 200 m from the Le Héron campsite. The museum showcases an exceptional collection of Neolithic flint tools found along the Semois, including axes, blades and scrapers crafted by prehistoric populations who settled here over 5,000 years ago. The site itself — a prehistoric quarry on the banks of the Semois — has been listed as a heritage site. Entry is free for children under 12, and the visit takes around 45 minutes. Highly recommended as a rainy-day activity during your camping stay.
Did you know? The flint found in Alle-sur-Semois was exported as far as northern France and the Netherlands during the Neolithic period. The river Semois was used as a transport route — a 5,000-year-old predecessor of the kayak descent you can enjoy today.

What is there to do in Alle-sur-Semois besides camping?
Beyond the campsite, Alle-sur-Semois offers: 🛶 Kayak descents on the Semois (7–35 km); 🪨 Flint Museum (200 m, free for under-12s); 🥾 Hiking on the GR126 and Tour de la Semois trails; 🚴 Cycling on the Semois cycle path to Membre and Bohan (12 km flat); 🦦 Wildlife watching (otters, kingfishers, herons); 🍺 Local brasseries serving Ardennes specialities and craft beers.

What is the difference between camping in Alle and camping in Vresse-sur-Semois?
Alle-sur-Semois is the main kayak departure hub — 4 campsites concentrated in the village, the Flint Museum, and direct access to the official launch point. It is busier and more easily accessible by road. Vresse-sur-Semois (12 km downstream) offers 8 campsites spread over a larger area, including Huttopia and La Douane — a wilder, more dispersed setting. For a kayak-centred holiday, Alle is the better base; for pure nature immersion, Vresse–Bohan is preferable. See our Vresse campsite guide.

Magnificent canoe descent (17km), the service is very good, we wait little even at arrival thanks to the driver and his wife. In addition, the small cafe with terrace is very pleasant.
