We can say with certainty that the La Roche region was inhabited during the Neolithic period, i.e. 20 centuries BC.

La Roche-en-Ardenne, now peacefully nestled on the water’s edge, has an eventful past and was a major battleground during the Second World War. Its museum poignantly recounts this story.
