Travel guide · Province of Liège · 2026-2027 edition
A town beneath its fort, the Meuse valley, the castles of the Condroz and the wide fields of Hesbaye.
Between Liège and Namur, Huy huddles on the banks of the Meuse beneath its fort and collegiate church. Around it, the Meuse valley, the Condroz and Hesbaye make three very different landscapes, less than 45 minutes from Liège and often easy to reach by train.
This guide covers Huy, its fort, cable car and the Mur de Huy; the Meuse valley from Amay to Seraing, with Jehay castle, Val-Saint-Lambert and the Préhistomuseum; Modave and the Condroz; Waremme, Hannut and Hesbaye; and the Mehaigne valley: where to stay, getting there by train, cycling on the RAVeL greenways, walking, family days out, food and itineraries.
With 4 original maps, a chapter on unusual camping and farm stays, and the dates of La Flèche Wallonne and the big festivals.
