PLACE DES ÉCOLES / N°18

Description

"Villa Mon Rêve". This villa was built in 1899 to the plans of the architect Emile PETIT. A decorative plaster covers the façade. The balustrade of the balcony is a beautiful wrought iron work, particularly tinged with Art Nouveau. Leave the Place des Ecoles and go down the street. At the bottom of the square, turn right into Rue des Capucins. At the end of the street, you arrive at the Place Achille Salée. If you are a little tired, turn left and find the Tourist Office down Rue Dr Henri Schaltin, to the left of the Romanesque-Rhenish church of Saint Remacle. Built in 1885, it reflects the prosperity of Spa at the end of the 19th century. The more persistent visitors will turn right and walk up the rue du Waux-Hall, which then becomes the rue de la Géronstère. Their effort will be rewarded by discovering the last two houses of the "Art Nouveau" route as well as the prestigious Waux-Hall building. This former "house of games and meetings" dates from 1770 and is said to be the oldest casino in Europe still standing. You will see this vast pale pink building on your left, after about ten minutes of walking. This building, listed in 1936, has been on the list of exceptional heritage since 1993 and on that of the Walloon Heritage Institute since 1999.
Continue up the Rue de la Géronstère on the left-hand pavement. Houses No. 14 and No. 24 are the last stops on this beautiful route.
