Discover Trelon

Trelon is located in the Parc Naturel de l’Avesnois. When planning a stay, you can choose from several different focuses: the history of the Château de Trélon, the town’s glassmaking history, and marked trails for hiking, cycling, and horse riding. This lets you balance culture and outdoor activities according to your interests. If you would like to combine both, you can organize visits according to their respective access arrangements, and activities according to your preferred way of getting around. One distinction is important when choosing visits: the Château is open to the public during guided tour times; the Atelier-Musée du Verre is currently closed.

Château tours and glassmaking history

The traditional guided tour of the Château de Trélon covers the history of the château and the princes of Merode. The Château is open to the public during guided tour times. Plan your visit within these times and check the schedule before you travel.

The Atelier-Musée du Verre is housed in a former glassworks dating from 1823. It showcases machinery, tools, and glass products. During guided tours, glassmakers work live, shaping molten glass into artistic objects. The museum is currently closed to the public and temporarily inaccessible due to the severe weather of June 2026. Technical assessments are underway while a renovation project is being prepared. Check visitor access before your trip.

Glass festival and carnival parade

The Fête du Verre celebrates a tradition deeply rooted in Trelon’s glassmaking history. On Laetare Sunday, a carnival parade makes its way through Trelon, stopping at the main historical, festive, and cultural sites. The two cultural highlights are distinct: the Fête du Verre is connected to the glassmaking tradition, while the parade incorporates these sites into its route. If you would like to take the parade into account when planning your trip, check the date in advance.

Trails, horseback rides, and accommodation

Trelon has marked trails for hiking, cycling, and horse riding. This choice of activities by mode of transport complements visits with a separate outdoor focus. Horseback rides are also offered in the Forêt de Trélon. You can therefore distinguish between two options for planning: marked trails for three activities and the horseback riding offer. This lets you tailor your time outdoors to your preferred activity.

The Hôtel de Verriers has 10 rooms with a total of 30 beds. These two figures describe different aspects of capacity: the number of rooms and the total number of beds. When looking for a hotel in Trelon, you can compare this information with the cultural or outdoor themes that matter to you during your stay.
