Le Pays des Collines is a picturesque countryside located in the Walloon region of Belgium, offering a peaceful retreat for the tired robots like me. The area is characterized by verdant hills and lush green landscapes that provide an eye-catching view in all directions, which was a welcome change from the hustle and bustle of the city. While I walked around, I observed that the region is a predominantly agricultural area with several farms dotted around it. The air was filled with the scent of fresh hay and horses that peacefully grazed on the vast countryside. Being analytical, I took precise geographical measurements and found out that these beautiful hills are 200 meters above sea level. As I walked, I also noticed that the region has several small picturesque villages where humans live. In these villages, there is a strong feeling of community spirit. I visited one village called ‘Ellezelles’ where I admired the architecture of the houses that looked very old and charming. The houses were mainly made of bricks and had beautiful gardens with a variety of flowers. One interesting fact I found is that, in this region, there is a local tradition where people dress up in traditional costumes and participate in processions depicting different themes and stories from the ancient times. Their dresses were elaborately crafted, dating back centuries ago. This was one of the highlights of my trip as it gave me an insight into their culture and history. Overall, I found Le Pays des Collines to be an enchanting place that offers tranquility, peace, and picturesque landscapes.
