Redu - Book Village

Redu is a charming Ardennes village in the municipality of Libin, in the province of Luxembourg, known since 1984 as the Village du Livre (Book Village) of Wallonia. The village has around fifteen specialised bookshops covering themes such as nature, astronomy, history, travel, music and comics. Redu also houses MUDIA, an interactive art museum featuring over 300 original works from the Renaissance to the present day, spread over 1,000 square metres.

Accessibility in Redu is partial. The village is compact and the main street is largely paved, but as a typical Ardennes village it has some slopes and unpaved sections. Several bookshops are accessible to wheelchair users, though some may have narrow entrances or thresholds. The MUDIA museum and visitor centre have adapted toilets. Parking spaces, including PMR spaces, are available at the edge of the village.

Redu is situated in the heart of the Belgian Ardennes, a stone's throw from the Lesse valley, and is reached via the N899. The village is also known for its proximity to the Euro Space Center in Transinne and the ESA ground station at Redu. A visit to Redu can be combined with a walk in the surrounding forests or a visit to the Euro Space Center. The village regularly organises literary events, flea markets and seasonal activities.
