Florenville

Florenville is a French-talking metropolis in Belgium placed within the Walloon Region inside the province of Luxembourg. It is located in Gaume and borders with the Ardennes and France. It overlooks a meander of the Semois and is orientated towards tourism. The tale of Florenville is that of a rural entity, non violent and discreet, caught to a transferring and disputed border and as a result, occupied, crossed or exchanged by means of overseas belligerents. It is closely linked to the destiny of Chiny County. Before the Roman conquest, the territory of Florenville is positioned in Gaul and occupied with the aid of the Treviri.

In 45 BC AD, the Emperor Claude constructed the Roman street linking Reims to Cologne that runs thru the area. Excavations carried out inside the hamlet of Chameleux discovered the web site of a education motel composed of several buildings spread on both aspects of the roadway and lots of regular items. In 1940, eighty five houses have been destroyed and one hundred thirty five heavily damaged, out of 365 homes that had Florenville.
