From September 16 to 22, 2026, the Mobility Week in Wallonia encouraged citizens, schools, businesses, and local authorities to rethink their travel under the slogan 'It starts with a small step'. This edition, focusing on walking and active mobility, mobilized several hundred organizations across Wallonia.
The distinction received by Villers-la-Ville recognizes a participation deemed significant, an original initiative, or a large-scale action. The commune stood out alongside other Walloon territories such as Colfontaine, Eghezée, La Roche-en-Ardenne, Ohey, Péruwelz, and Spa, as well as several associations and citizen initiatives. This 'Coup de cœur' highlights the quality of Villers-la-Ville's local commitment to more sustainable mobility.
This recognition is part of a particularly dynamic edition, with the official participation of 151 municipalities and non-profits, 112 businesses, and 72 schools in the campaign.
The Mobility Week reminds us that the transition to more sustainable travel can begin with simple gestures: walking more, cycling, sharing rides, or occasionally trying an alternative to the car. Through its 'Coup de cœur', Villers-la-Ville is recognized as one of the communes that has contributed to this momentum and the desire to sustainably change travel habits in Wallonia.
