NAMUR
Rich with history and culture, Namur combines the discreet charm of a well-maintained heritage and the dynamism of a young, regional capital. Thanks to the confluence of the Sambre and the Meuse Rivers which a citadel once at stake in strategic matters overlooks, Namur, located in the heart of the Wallonie Region, is a highly symbolical place, filled with the Mosan softness that so many artists, past and present, celebrated.
In the intimacy of old neighbourhoods, time sometimes stops, so that new creative sources stimulate in everyone the seasons of life, while, somewhere in a newfound sense of freedom a verse by Baudelaire resonates, as the melody of a music that is each time both unique and shared. Receptive to all the horizons which forged its identity, Namur is an open city, a place to meet, and a place to be happy, which stays tuned to the present and is willing to transmute the future.
The Tourist Office and its numerous partners make sure Namur remains welcoming and convivial.
