Sassor et Sasserotte
This village is characterised by its farms with their imposing "tchèri" (a canopy capable of housing a hay cart).
In a nearby meadow, you can see the largest walnut tree in the municipality. The Pré l'Évêque stream flows gaily down from Sassor. Somewhere in the middle of the countryside, between Sasserotte and Fays, is Chinruy manor, an important place in Franchimont's history, yet many Theux residents are unaware of its location or even its existence. The path leading to it makes a very pleasant walk. It starts opposite Sasserotte village and wanders along the hillside with the Hoëgne below and the vast le Staneux forest beyond. Thus you reach Chinru, a sort of esplanade on which the manor and its farm were built around a courtyard. The path continues the length of the farm, then rises steeply to join the ridge which it follows as far as Fays. On this terrace overlooking the valley, a strategic place a few kilometres from Franchimont Castle, before 1450 a fortified building was erected a few traces of which can still be seen, such as a 1.10-metre wall at the east corner which could be from a tower. It was there that, in November 1468, the Duke of Burgundy, Charles the Bold established himself. He had come to burn and sack the Franchimont region to avenge himself on the 600 brave men who assaulted him on the heights of Sainte-Walburge, on the evening of the 29 October.
