It is a right tributary to the river [[Meuse]]. The source of the Lesse is near [[Libramont-Chevigny]], in the Belgian province of [[Luxembourg (province of Belgium)|Luxembourg]]. The Lesse flows roughly in north-western direction. Near [[Han-sur-Lesse]] (municipality of [[Rochefort, Belgium|Rochefort]]) the entire river goes underground, flowing through limestone caves. Many of the caves along the banks of the Lesse are important archaeological sites; these include the Trou de Chaleux (by the Cirque de Chaleux), and the Trou des Nutons and Trou du Frontal at Furfooz. The Lesse flows into the river Meuse in the village of Anseremme, municipality of [[Dinant]]. Towns along the Lesse are [[Daverdisse]], Han-sur-Lesse, [[Houyet]] and Anseremme. ==External links== * [https://archives.wallonie.be/ark:/44119/ng5bx7j19c2w Site of the Walloon regional archives.
