Introducing Namur
Namur (Namen in Flemish) is a great jumping-off point for exploring this part of the Ardennes. Some 60km southeast of Brussels, it’s a picturesque town, built at the confluence of the Meuse and Sambre Rivers and presided over by a citadel that, in times gone by, ranked as one of Europe’s mightiest. Good transport connections to more-remote parts of the Ardennes puts it on the map for travellers without their own vehicle. And for those simply into wining, dining and visiting, it has a lively restaurant and café (pub/bar) scene, and a clutch of interesting museums.
