Bertrix is a municipality of Belgium in the Ardennes in the Luxembourg province. It is located in the transition zone between the Ardennes and the Gaume. The inhabitants of Bertrix, numbering around 8,000, are known for their stubbornness and are nicknamed The Baudets. The landscape of the north and east of the town is hilly with large meadows and looks like the French Lorraine. In the South and West, in the Semois valley at Cugnon, the landscape is more rugged with deep valleys and high hills covered with forests. The village of Bertrix is not very touristy, unlike the valley of the Semois and the village of Cugnon.
