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 uselessness and expensiveness of modern women multiply bachelors.”
—Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
“I didn’t have any looks, I didn’t have any talent, and it was easy for me to say to the Lord, “I don’t have anything.” If you only knew where I came from ... this leetle-bitty town with no more than twelve hundred people in it. So ... anything I am today, He is the one who has done it [ellipses in source].”
—Kathryn Kuhlman (1907–1976)
