De Huy à Namur (stage 2)

On the Meuse RAVeL

Family

32,5 km

Not far from the old fortified city of Huy, along the RAVeL on the right bank of the Meuse, stands Andenne, the city of the bear, where stone, water and wood remind us how the wealth of this region depends on these natural elements.

The remarkably restored site of the Moulins de Beez mill complex heralds the entrance into Namur, the capital of Wallonia. The city of Namur, the gateway to the Ardennes, is a multi-faceted place. From the Citadel, overlooking the confluence between the Sambre and the Meuse, masterpiece of Vauban, the military architect of Louis XIV, to its historic centre, the art of good living is everywhere.
