LiègeIn the province of Liege, you will be captivated by picturesque villages, their serenity and variety, and the man-sized « mountains » of the Ardennes.

Let us explore this secret land where villages nestle deep down in the valleys, around a Romanesque church, tucked away in little dales formed by storming torrents, or among mysterious Fen country (Fagnes).

The ideal spot par excellence for « green tourism », the southern and eastern regions of our province are criss-crossed by a seemingly endless network of footpaths and cycle trails. In the centre, Condroz, with its gently rolling hills, is the setting for enchanting villages.
To the north, the plains of Hesbaye are home to amazing manor farms and two rural valleys that form part of a nature reserve.

Forged from the fires of mining and steel, the province of Liege has been bathed by the gently flowing river Meuse from time immemorial. A charming valley, whether you approach it from Huy or Visé. As for the towns, they are just the right size and delightfully friendly. The Liegeois have a reputation for being cheerful.

You're assured of a warm welcome and memorable experiences when you visit the province of Liege!
