Bouillon - Modern Town

Modern Town

Bouillon has a few schools, a lycée (middle school) and a gymnasium (high school), banks and a square place.

The town sits in a sharp bend of the river Semois (German: Sesbach, Walloon: Simwès, in France : Semoy) whose total length is 210 km. The surrounding area is largely forested.

Bouillon Castle still sits above the town centre, and is a popular tourist attraction.

Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or town:

    The course of modern learning leads from humanism via nationalism to bestiality.
    Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

    Tiresome heart, forever living and dying,
    House without air, I leave you and lock your door.
    Wild swans, come over the town, come over
    The town again, trailing your legs and crying!
    Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)
