In 1794 French revolutionary troops occupied the Austrian Netherlands , to which the Duchy of Luxembourg belonged, and annexed it in October 1795 . Under French administration , the area belonged to the canton of Clervaux in the Diekirch arrondissement , which was part of the forests department . Affler was administered by the Mairie Dasburg .
