Frequently Asked Questions
Along Boulevard Baron-Louis Huart near the Jambes bridge, a few minutes from the centre. The citadel cable car station is very close to the quay.
Yes for the old town and the cathedral, five to ten minutes away. For the citadel, the cable car saves the climb; walkers can also take the paths winding between the bastions.
The citadel first, by cable car, with the Terra Nova visitor centre and, if possible, the underground galleries. The old town and the Halle al'Chair fill the rest of the day.
One of the largest fortified complexes in Europe, crowning the rocky spur where the Sambre meets the Meuse. Its underground galleries form a maze so extensive that Napoleon is said to have called it the termite mound of Europe.
Yes. It links the city centre to the top of the citadel in a short aerial ride, and its station sits right by the quay. It is the simplest option with children or to spare your legs.
Saint-Aubain Cathedral with its classical 18th-century dome, the church of Saint-Loup whose marble and carved wood interior Baudelaire admired, and the Halle al'Chair, a Renaissance butchers' hall set on the Sambre.
In season, the strawberries of Wépion grown a few kilometres upstream are the pride of the Meuse country. The riverside terraces serve abbey beers brewed in the region and the chocolatiers compete window by window.
The euro, and French: Namur is the capital of Wallonia. No language barrier for French speakers.
Very much so. A cable car ride, a walk around the ramparts, a cone of frites on a busy square: the day builds itself easily and the city suits every pace.
Yes: a master perfumer has set up his workshop inside former military buildings at the citadel. You follow the creation of fragrances from raw essences to bottles, under stone vaults. It is brief and out of the ordinary.
