Namur
The province of Namur is known as The Land of the Valleys and visitors delight in its beautiful gardens, historic caves and two citadels.
The province is divided by the many waterways, including the Meuse, Lesse, Rocq, Semois, Samson and Sambre, which carve the landscape into a series of extraordinary valleys and feed its lush hillsides. Namur’s legendary caves are both a testament to prehistoric times and a focus of more recent archaeological interest. The region is a paradise for nature lovers with its leafy forests, nature and animal parks, and evidence of the past in the form of medieval castles, monasteries and citadels.
The beautiful water gardens of the Château d’Annevoie are a 20-minute drive along the River Meuse, and there are many more parks and gardens: Frewr, Chevetogne, Bambois, where you can enjoy a relaxing stroll and admire the fauna. The Brasserie du Bocq in Purnode has been brewing beer since 1858, and visitors can sample a glass after their guided tour. The Meuse, whose banks are populated with local fishermen, meanders through hamlets of modest cottages and is shaded by dramatic overhanging rocks, while further downstream, heavy barges line the basins near the barrages.
