The association is inspired by the organisation Les plus beaux villages de France[2] and is established as an ASBL in Belgium.
Les Plus Beaux Villages de Wallonie organises events such as Un Dimanche, un Beau Village ("one Sunday, one beautiful village"), where one village is highlighted and promoted each week, and activities take place to allow visitors to explore the culture and heritage of the village.[2]
