Discover the Aquascope

WELCOME
AT THE AQUASCOPE,
AN EXPERIMENT
FOR EVERYONE

Venture into a unique experience at Aquascope Virelles, gateway to the Entre Sambre et Meuse National Park, for an unforgettable journey from the depths to the surface of the pond. Our cabinet of curiosities will tell you the fascinating story of this place steeped in memory. Our film will allow you to follow the changing life of the pond through the seasons.

Then set off to explore the pond and its surroundings: under the water, on the water’s edge, from a lookout perched in the trees. Along the way, don’t miss the chance to admire the birds from our various covered observatories, our bees (from the educational apiary), or make a diversion to the Jardin de Millepertuis, an ethnobotanical garden dedicated to the uses of plants. You’ll also discover how you can help protect nature and the environment.

Finally, relax on our terrace with a panoramic view of the pond and playground. The Cantine de Aquascope offers a variety of dishes prepared with local and fair-trade products to enhance your day in this superb natural setting.
