Description by the author

The Pays de Gaume, home of Montquintin, is a (beautiful) part of Belgian Lorraine and was, more than 170 million years ago, a sea bottom inhabited by huge reptiles. This bottom was composed of sedimentary layers of various compositions: marl, schist, clay, limestone and sandstone. After the rise of the bottom, it was dug and eroded by rivers such as the Semois, the Vire and the Ton. In this way three ranges of hills or cuestas were formed in the Pays de Gaume (and France even more of course). A cuesta (can you hear the Spanish sound?) is actually a hill with a steep side on one side and a gentle slope on the other. In the Pays de Gaume the steep slopes are oriented to the north, the gentle ones to the south.
