Who is Wallonia Authentic ?
My name is Corantin Catinus. I was born and raised in Chimay. I created Wallonia Authentic to offer a different way of discovering Belgium through its people, its places, and its traditions.
With experience in tourism and destination management across the world, I felt the need to return to what truly matters to reconnect with my roots here in beautiful Wallonia.
Today, I design tailor-made experiences for small groups, focused on authenticity, quality, and sustainability.
