During the Battle of the Bulge in the winter of 1944-1945, this dense forest was occupied by the American 101st Airborne Division, specifically the renowned Easy Company. The soldiers endured harsh conditions, digging foxholes for protection against intense German artillery and mortar fire. These foxholes remain visible today, serving as poignant reminders of the soldiers' resilience and the brutal realities of war. The site has become a place of pilgrimage, allowing visitors to reflect on the sacrifices made during one of the most pivotal battles of the Second World War. A phone app is available for immersive videos showing the experience of the American soldiers during the challenging moments of the Battle of the Bulge.

Raphael customized our experience and really helped us understand the history of the area. He had a deep knowledge and understanding of the Battle of the Bulge, and showed us all of the sites both inside the museum and out in Bastogne and Foy. We really enjoyed this tour.
