 The TTA: an outing not to be missed! Along the Aisne Valley , in a protected nature reserve , a pretty river caracoles merrily through a setting that is sometimes pastoral and picturesque, sometimes wild and proud, in the shade of vast, centuries-old forests. As the TTA heads off in search of its springs, the 11-kilometre route reveals the glorious Ardennes, displaying countryside that sparkles with beauty for your delight. In the little trains of yesteryear, jealously preserved and gleaming in shades of red and cream, an outing like no other awaits you. A real, living museum that offers you the chance to experience an age when time barely counted, when at the start of the 20th century a vast array of secondary, antiquated railway lines drew the province of Luxembourg out of its age-old torpor. At the TTA station , you'll find two playgrounds (free of charge), the museum and the Royal Syndicat d'Initiative d'Erezée.  Thanks to the hard work of everyone involved, with the support of the communes of Erezée and Manhay, the TTA snakes its way along the Aisne on the old Erezée-Lamormenil line. Revived by an enthusiastic team of volunteers of all ages who willingly devote their leisure time to the task... and who await you. We look forward to welcoming you! All services are paid on site, upon arrival. Your credit card is only taken as a guarantee.

Brasserie Minne has been active since 2008 and has enjoyed a great reputation since its opening. So under the name of Brasserie de Bastogne, it is the Trouffettes blondes and Trouffettes rousses which win the hearts of locals, regionals and much more. It was his Super Boar that opened the doors to success for him. In 2019, the Brewery needed more space, better road access and decided to move from the Bastogne region to the Baillonville Zoning. Brasserie Minne owes its success to its creativity and passion. We find this enthusiasm even in the originality of the labels with the drawing of a Wild Boar or other animals from our Ardennes forests. Today, our ""classic"" and ""Ardenne"" ranges include around fifteen beers produced throughout the year: Super Sanglier, Ardenne Triple, Belle d'Eté, to name a few. The Minne Brewery also has original and avant-garde know-how, particularly with the ""Wood"" range, since the Brewery has been offering beers aged in oak barrels for years. This range offers an exceptional range of taste sensations to lovers and those curious about special beers. They are available at the end of the year.
