Editorial
Welcome to Namur! You have chosen to visit our fair city, and you will not regret it!
Namur is synonymous with a proud history and is nestled tradition, at the heart of a river
confluence, in a magnificent setting of greenery.
It is a city on a human scale where the art of living is cultivated with gusto: Namur is a
nice town to walk around, so take your time, and enjoy striding along the embankments
of the Rivers Meuse and Sambre.
2016 is a theme year devoted to cycling tourism. And Namur is the ideal starting point to
discover Wallonia as well: once you have discovered the city by bike, the quays and banks
will lead to the fine valleys of the Meuse and the Sambre.
I wish you fine excursions in Wallonia in 2016!

It is an opportunity to enjoy a drink at an outdoor
café or to taste regional products (“petits gris”
[small grey snails], avisance [a typical regional
delicacy of minced meat in puffed pastry], Wépion strawberries, Blanche de Namur [White
beer from Namur], etc.) that you will find on the
menu of many restaurants…
The city centre is also an ideal place for a
pleasant shopping outing…
• THE MUSEUMS BECKON (P.20)
And they are bound to astound you! Push the

green setting that affords marvellous vistas
of the city.
Terra Nova Visitor Centre
Inaugurated at the end of June 2015 and
housed in the old Terra Nova barracks, the
Visitor Centre is an indispensable stage before storming the fortified estate.
You will discover two thousand years of urban and military history presented through
the story of Namur and its citadel, thanks to
a dynamic and educational setting.
Tours
Apart from the new Visitor Centre, several
guided tours are on offer:
• The “Medieval tour,” : a combined excursion comprising a stroll on the Medieval
stratum of the site, a visit to the “castle
life” exhibition and a visit to the Medieval
garden: “The garden of two towers” – everything you always wanted to know about
life in the Citadel during the Middle Ages!
• Tour of the underground galleries: Venture into the heart of the “Termite Mound
of Europe” and come and explore the
largest underground galleries of the Old
Continent in a citadel.

Time for a little break and some refreshment? There is something for
every taste. Let the magic do its charm
and give your senses a chance – the
countless Namur flavours are bound to
charm…
Fancy something “sweet?” Try the Wepion strawberries, bursting with sugar
and a bright red colour. You will not
be able to resist either the sweet and
crunchy taste of caramel coated nuts
known as “biétrumés.”
Or something “salty,” perhaps? Try
the “Petits-Gris de Namur” [snails]
that feature prominently in local gastronomy and are also the symbol of
the city. Regale yourself with avisance
(minced meat in puff pastry), served hot
or warm.
To slake your thirst, taste a “Blanche
de Namur” (Brasserie du Bocq), a
“Houppe” (Brasserie de l’Echasse)
or one of the wine vintages from the
Mosan Valley (Domaine du Chenoy,
Ry d’Argent, Château Bon Baron) –
and make sure you do not overlook
the traditional “Péket” (genever)
which has its finest hour during
the traditional “Fêtes de Wallonie”
[Wallonia Festivities].

sophisticated will extend a warm welcome so that you can enjoy a pleasant

On the day after the battle of Waterloo,
Marshal Emanuel de Grouchy had to save
his 34,000 men from the rout. A strategic
retreat got underway with the ultimate aim
of reaching Givet, via Namur, to bring men,
horses and arms to safety.
The Route of Grouchy’s Army is today the
subject of a publication that retraces this
itinerary in two forms: a road itinerary and
a cycling-pedestrian itinerary, so that everyone can retrace the steps of the army at
his or her own pace. It is an opportunity to
discover the little known sights along and
around this historical route, which goes
through splendid regions. Coming from
Gembloux and La Bruyère, the Grouchy
Route reaches Namur from the north, and
then continues, via the Citadel, in the very
beautiful valley of the Meuse to Dinant and
Givet.A commemorative plaque recalls the
fierce fighting that took place in Namur, at
the north entrance of Louise-Marie Park.
A free leaflet and a website provide
details on this itinerary. In french only.

On foot, by bike
Namur is also for lovers of nature and the great outdoors!
Take the time to criss-cross the
Walloon capital through its Citadel, woods, forests, pastures and
banks as and when you like, on
foot or by bike. The bicycle will
in fact be the theme of the 2016
tourist season in Wallonia!
The Namur Tourist Office proposes two
new “discovery” circuits accessible to all:
• A stroll that will gradually reveal the
architectural wonders and the most
beautiful spots of the city centre;
• A cycling loop that will take you to the
banks of the Meuse and the Sambre.
Take advantage of the opportunity to
take a breather and share a picnic or
try one of the many restaurants along
the river.
In addition to its bicycle hire and repair
services, Pro Velo (the House of Cyclists)
organises regularly outings that bring
out the charm of the Namur Valley to the
rhythm of a bicycle.

Large fires to end the winter, folkloric celebrations, contemporary or ancient music
festivals…
In May, the Walloon Capital dons its summer colours already with the launch of
the Cap Estival season. It is also the time
when Namur draws the festive fairground
crowds, blending an immense jubilation of
music, theatre, magic and dance right out
of another world.
In June, Verdur Rock disembarks! A rock,
electric, and pop festival of contemporary
music to make the Citadel swing!
Namur is a capital now more than ever! Of
Wallonia, of course, but in July also, of beer
and local products, and of folklore as well!
This year, it will moreover have the honour
of hosting the 53rd Europeade: More than
5000 dancers, singers, flag twirlers and
consorts from the four corners of the Old
Continent will invade the streets of the city
centre for a show bursting with colour and
traditions.
Lovers of green spaces and nature, on your
bikes! The “Beau Vélo de Ravel” will go
through Namur: a great way to start this
long weekend in August!

In September, it will be the turn of the traditional Wallonia Festivities inviting you
to an extraordinary ambiance to enjoy the
zest for life and folklore typical of Namur –
followed by the International Festivals of
French-Speaking Film and then of Nature.
And gradually, we have come to the end of
the year. The city will slide into the intimacy of winter, to the sound of carols and its
best Christmas fineries.

THE MAISON DES DESSERTS [DESSERT HOUSE] HAS A PROUD HISTORY
OF THREE GENERATIONS IN THE HUCORNE FAMILY.
The Fronville chocolate factory was created in 1946 by Mrs Fronville, the
aunt of Mr Etienne de Hucorne. The latter, a confectioner and chocolate
maker, took over the chocolate factory with his wife when his aunt
discontinued operations in 1974. In 1993, he opened a tea room in the
Saint-Loup quarter of old Namur.
Today, Claire and Etienne de Hucorne and their two sons run two
unmissable establishments on the Namur landscape with an expert hand:
the Fronville chocolate factory, situated on the Rue de Fer provides
different varieties of chocolate, but also Biétrumé, Namuco and Fély,
whereas the Maison des Desserts, situated on the Rue Haute Marcelle,
serves a choice of pastries, chocolates, macaroons as well as trendy
snacks in the exceptional setting of a 17th century building.

The adventure is just at the end of my street -- or is it my wheel?
I love living in Namur. It is here, at the confluence of the Rivers
Sambre and Meuse, that our programme was born. Come with me to
bend over its cradle, on Saturday, 13 August 2016.
I promise you the finest RAVeL.
