Fagne (natural region)

It should not be confused with the High Fens (French: Hautes Fagnes), which are further east and straddle the border of Belgium and Germany.

The Fagne is mostly in the provinces of Namur and Hainaut in Wallonia in southern Belgium.

It extends west into the French Arrondissement of Avesnes-sur-Helpe in the Nord department, in the Nord-Pas de Calais region.

Philippeville is the largest and most important town in The Fagne, and considered an unofficial capital of sorts.

Other settlements of note include Couvin, Cerfontaine, Rance, Trélon and Solre-le-Château.
