Bohan, Belgium

Bohan (French pronunciation: [bɔɑ̃]; Walloon: Bôhan) is a village of Wallonia and a district of Vresse-sur-Semois, located in the province of Namur, Belgium.

Bohan is only 2 km from the French border (just across from the town of Charleville) and is surrounded by splendid walks and nature, as well as being close to important second world war sites in the Ardennes.

The population of Bohan during the year is very small (in the village itself this is around 100) and mainly agricultural; however during the summer the population of the area swells to be several thousand due to this being one of the centres of holidays in Belgium.The village is made up of a main square (on which there is a church from the 17th century, plus a number of different bars and restaurants, as well as two butchers and a patisserie) and then a couple of side roads.

The village also has an important Delhaize grocery and general store, as well as a post office, so is very well catered for given its small size.

The second bridge was built in the 1950s and today is festooned with European and USA flags to show peace and harmony between the various countries.
