The Folon Cache (was: Boomerang) Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

Jiheffe: La cache a manifestement disparue... Comme je n'ai plus vraiment de temps pour la remplacer et continuer à la maintenir, je préfére l'archiver.
Elle fut placée le premier avril 2002 par Pick, un des tous premiers géocacheurs belges. Elle aura donc "tenu" 10 ans, pas si mal que ça, non?

Geocache Description:

Located in the Domaine du Parc Solvay, not far from the Castle, the Obélisque and the Estaminet.

Admission to the park (where the stach is) is free!

There are different entrances to the park. Depending which way you choose, you will be able to leave your car about 200 m from the stach. If not, you will make a beautiful walk ;-) Bikes are allowed on the paths. Oh yes, don't rely on TomTom to bring you to the closest car parking... But the info below should help to get there!

This cache is easily accessible, 20 m. off the path. The container has been replaced and is now an ammo box.

For your information, the Castle cannot be visited (unless you're invited at a wedding or other event there!) but you can walk around and have a look at the garden with its statues and nice hedges.

However, in front of the Estaminet is the museum of Belgian artist Jean-Michel Folon. A spot that puts great emphasis on modern museology, since in terms of sound and vision, the rooms are presented in a real stage setting. From now on, people will be able to discover the works that the artist has saved "so they can be seen all together in a single day and in the same place".

The new box contains a set of postcards representing works of Jean-Michel Folon. Please have a though for the next cachers, and take only one card. If you want more, they can be bought the the museum shop!
If there are three or less cards left, please mention it in your log, so I know I have to go for a "refill"!
