While Banneux is a year-round destination, the best time to visit for most travelers is during the warmer months, specifically from May through September.During this period, the weather is generally pleasant, making it ideal for exploring the outdoor shrines and walking the grounds of the Sanctuary of the Virgin of the Poor. You'll find comfortable temperatures for participating in outdoor services and processions, and the gardens are in full bloom, adding to the serene setting. This time of year is also when the Sanctuary typically has its fullest schedule of events and services.Couples often find the spring and early autumn particularly appealing for a more peaceful experience, enjoying milder weather and fewer crowds than the peak summer months.
