Two nights, anchored on a 2-star Saturday tasting menu you can't drive home from. Solve the bed, and the river, the falconry, the meander, and the morning walk fall into place around it.[7]

Two threads across the weekend

MAI ’26

Late May is structurally right

Kayak flow sits in the 15–60 m³/s "sporty" band that fades by summer.[10] The Parc national runs ~60 ranger-led walks April–October.[13] Bouillon parking is free citywide and crowds haven't started.[18] The Tombeau du Géant adventure loop's two Semois fords are passable.[16]

CAR ✓

The trip is car-dependent

Kayak shuttles, viewpoint hops and the Daverdisse fallback all assume one. Without a car, narrow the plan to walks from Our's church and the flat Au gré de la Semois riverside path at Bouillon[17] — and skip the kayak.
