Located in the forest of Bois d'Angre along the Grande Honnelle river, the Caillou-qui-bique is a 25 m high quartz puddingstone, resembling the shape of a human face. It is 370 million years old. According to the old popular beliefs, most of these rocks have a diabolical origin, in this case, the Devil's work: [2]
Satan could not abide that Saint Remacle was building the Abbey of Stavelot. To prevent the inauguration, he departed from the Pyrenees mountains with a huge rock on his back, to throw it at the church. But along the way, he met a poor man who told him that the road was still long. Discouraged and angry at not being able to arrive in time to spoil the festivities, the devil dropped his rock in anger and it embedded itself in the ground. This rock, which seems to have been balancing since the dawn of time, is the Caillou-qui-Bique!

"The Song of the Walloons" is the regional anthem of Wallonia in Belgium. The original lyrics were written by Théophile Bovy in 1900 in the Walloon language. A year later, it was set to music composed by Louis Hillier. Performed for the first time in the city of Liège, the song quickly spread to other parts of French-speaking Belgium and established itself like a "national" anthem for Wallonia.
Kanhoji Angre, also known as Conajee Angria or Sarkhel Angré was an Indian admiral of the Maratha Navy. Kanhoji became noted for attacking and capturing European merchant ships and collecting jakat known to locals as taxes seen by Europeans as ransoming their crews. British, Dutch and Portuguese ships were often victims of these raids. Despite attempts by the Portuguese and British to put an end to his privateering activities, Angre continued to capture and collect jakat from European merchant ships until his death in 1729. Kanhoji's naval prowess in capturing dozens of European trading ships and avoiding capture has led to many historians to appraise Kanhoji as the most skilled Indian admiral in the maritime history of India.
