Hello everyone,
We are planning to visit the Beloeil Castle, often referred to as the "Belgian Little Versailles".
However, I'll let you be the judge of that !
The castle opens its doors on Saturdays at 1:00 PM, and we have two options to consider:
1/ Meeting at Ath train station and walking along the canal to Beloeil, which takes about 2 and a half hours, maybe 3 if we take our time. Then, return by bus to Ath (the last two buses leave around 3:00 PM and 6:00 PM).
2/ In case of bad weather: meet directly at the site by car or bus.
If the weather allows us to choose option 1/, we should plan to depart from Ath train station around 9:30 AM to organize an impromptu picnic (around noon), and then arrive in time for the castle and park visit scheduled for 1:00 PM.
For those who only wish to visit the castle and the park, it's possible. Meet at the castle around 1:00 PM.
The ticket price for the castle is €12.
The round-trip train ticket between Brussels and Ath costs €11.5.
