Транспорт
Shuttle bus between Barvaux and Durbuy
http://durbuytourisme.deuxpoints.eu/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Navette-Durbuy-juil-et-aout-2019.pdf
The shuttle bus circulates between the Barvaux train stop and the footbridge of the old town centre of Durbuy, passing by the municipal swimming pool in Bohon, at different periods of the year.
When it is not on its way to the train stop, this bus travels every 10 minutes between the Pré Georis parking lot at the entrance of the old town centre of Durbuy and the footbridge that leads straight to the centre of Durbuy, keeping excess traffic out of the centre of the town.

Parkings
To make shops and businesses more accessible, the town centres have been equipped with a significant number of parking lots.
A 300-space parking lot was created at the entrance in Durbuy, at 900m from the centre. A shuttle bus ensures the connexion every 10 minutes.
