Orléans Monument

The monument recalls the recovery of the Duchess of Orleans, who stayed with the Duke in 1787. The monument was erected by the children of Orléans and their governor, Me de Genlis. In 1792, the monument was destroyed by the dragoons of the 3rd French regiment, stationed in Malmedy and Stavelot. In 1841, King Louis-Philippe had the monument rebuilt and in 1843 had it surrounded by a metal fence. The original path ran from the spring to the monument; in 1839 it was extended to the edge of the wood, along the stream. Servais continued the walk to the Watroz.
