Le Tienne Messe

« Tienne Messe » means « Steep Slope » in Walloon. This slope is located on your left and goes towards the church. This road was used by the people of Ville-du-Bois and Petit-Thier to go to the church. At this point, the Salm, whose source is in Petit-Thier, and the Baraichin, which crosses the campsite, merge.
The Macralles (witches) gather here every year on July 20. It is a fantastic spectacle that begins, with the entrance of Belzébuth, great master of the ceremony, seated on a hearse drawn by witches. The Sabbath takes place in a hellish atmosphere with lightning and thunder. The assembled Macralles, recount in Walloon the anecdotes and political policies of the past year. The show ends with the veneration of deserving persons, who are appointed to the order of "Baron des Frambâche" (Baron of the Blueberries. After drinking a magic potion, the Tcha-tcha (nectar), these people must recite the well-known formula « Sôt Mirôte oute hâye è bouhons » seated on a broomstick.
