Didactic panel about the nature reserve of Noir Ruy (or Noir Ru) meaning "black creek". This little creek flows into the Amblève below the village of Beaumont.
Set back from the main road coming from Beaumont, the village of Francheville culminates at an altitude of 580 metres and is dominated by the Saint-Félix church built in the 18th century. Above the church's portal are a coat of arms and a chronogram showing the year 1742.The chronogram is an inscription in which certain letters correspond to Roman numerals which, when added together, give the founding date of the building.
