La Halle al'Chair
Highlight • Historical Site
Built in the last quarter of the 16th century by Nuremberg architects Bastien Sion and Conrad, to better control butchery operations and ensure effective health control, the al'chair hall was a major step forward at the time!
The bottom of the building, consisting of numerous arches, served as a butcher's shop. Commercial transactions were carried out on the first floor, while above it the administrative buildings and accounting of the establishment were located.
After a renovation of the entire building in 2022, it now houses the Namur Tourist Office in this strategic location at the foot of the Citadel.

The snails of Djoseph and Francwès
Highlight • Monument
If the Namurois is renowned for being slow by nature. It's not the case, but he enjoys it. Installed on the Place d'Armes since 2000, this work was shaped thanks to the talent of Suzanne Godard. The two friends indulge in their favorite activities: walking around quietly while speaking slowly, very slowly, like the two snails that accompany them, a symbolic animal of the city, for which the little grays have made their reputation. And you, which work caught your attention and where?

Head underground with a guided tour of 495 m. Language NL, F or Eng. Dutch sounds best 😁 and you can understand 80%. Then you ride through the Citadelle in the "little train". Finally, you go to the museum, which is housed in the barracks. …
