Rahon: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

In Rahon, sacred history and woodland landscapes lie close together. The Chapelle Miraculeuse des Bois was built in 1745 on the site of an older chapel by Philippe-François Billot, the parish priest of Rahon. It is located at the entrance to the forest between Rahon and Villers-Robert on the road to Le Deschaux and is also known as the Chapelle des Affligés. In a hollow in the forest, there is an artificial lake fed by the small Bief Madame stream.

Anyone considering Rahon as a travel destination will want to rent a holiday apartment here.
