Daussois is a village of Wallonia in the municipality of Cerfontaine, located in the province of Namur, Belgium.

In the Middle Ages, the village was part of the County of Hainaut, and later it briefly belonged to France. The village has been burnt down twice: in 1794 by French troops during the French Revolutionary Wars, and in 1914 by German troops during World War I. The village church, dedicated to Saint Vedast, is largely from the early 16th century and Gothic in style.[1]
