For a long time, Durbuy billed itself as "The Smallest Town In The World". Indeed, it was pretty small -- 400 residents or so -- and it had been granted "town" status way back in 1331. In 1977, though, Durbuy lost whatever claims it had to this distinction, as it joined with a number of surrounding communities into a single commune of 8,000 residents.
Durbuy is located on the banks of the Ourthe River, at the edge of the Ardennes.
Barvaux-sur-Ourthe, Bende, Bomal-Sur-Ourthe, Borlon, Grandhan, Heyd, Izier, Septon, Tohogne, Villers-Sainte-Gertrude, and Weris are boroughs within the municipal district of Durbuy.
