De Namur à Huy (stage 3)
On the Meuse RAVeL
Family
31 km
The city of Namur, capital of Wallonia and the gateway to the Ardennes, is a multi-faceted place. From the Citadel, overlooking the confluence of the Sambre and Meuse rivers, to its historic centre, the art of good living is everywhere. You leave Namur following the RAVeL on the right bank of the Meuse and go past the remarkably restored site of the Moulins de Beez mill complex.
Further on stands Andenne, the city of the bear, where stone, water and wood remind us how much the wealth of this region depends on these natural elements.
As soon as you enter Huy with its rich historical heritage, passing beneath the headland on which the Citadel stands, you will have but one thought in mind: to find the famous ‘wall’, the steep climb that puts such a strain on the calves of racing cyclists!
