The '''Lesse''' is a [[river]] in the [[Ardennes]] in [[Belgium]]. It is a right tributary to the river [[Meuse River|Meuse]].
The source of the Lesse is near [[Libramont-Chevigny]], in the Belgian province of [[Luxembourg (province of Belgium)|Luxembourg]]. The Lesse flows roughly in north-western direction. Near [[Han-sur-Lesse]] (commune of [[Rochefort, Belgium|Rochefort]]) the entire river goes underground, flowing through limestone caves. Many of the caves along the banks of the Lesse are important archaeological sites - these include the Trou de Chaleux (by the Cirque de Chaleux), and the Trou des Nutons and Trou du Frontal at Furfooz. The Lesse flows into the river [[Meuse River|Meuse]] in the village of Anseremme, commune of [[Dinant]]. Towns along the Lesse are [[Daverdisse]], [[Han-sur-Lesse]], [[Houyet]] and Anseremme.
