Philippeville

---

20 September 2017

Philippeville was a heavily fortified town with a complex of walls built over the centuries. The walls were removed when Belgium became independent in the 1830s but a series of connecting tunnels 10km long still remain, although some of them are now used as sewers. We had a guided tour around the unusual town and along about 400m of the tunnels.

For the night we found ourselves a camperstop overlooking a series of reservoirs called Lacs de l’Eau d’Heure in wooded hills.
