Toeristisch Informatiecentrum van la Halle al’Chair

Namur seduces you with its provincial character in combination with the status of Walloon capital that suits it so well. The city lives to the rhythm of the Sambre and Maas and is known for its almost legendary slowness. And the << Namurois >> also: they talk slowly, think carefully before doing something and like to sit and eat for a long time. No wonder the town's symbol equals its specialty: snails! The beautifully preserved historic center evokes the names of great artists: Charles Baudelaire, F? Licien Rops and Albert Dandoy. In the streets and alleys where all kinds of boutiques attract a lot of people, you will discover the charm of a still present past. Nicely restored houses, museums, shady parks, but also of a present consisting of student districts, business centers, green activities, or surprising accommodations. Namur, "city in the countryside", is also a junction of important cycling routes: the RAVeL along the water and the Eurovelo route 3 (the Pilgrimage route) and 5 (Romea Francigena).
