ramp. Once on the ramp, walk past sortie 1 to sortie 2 and take the stairs to the
street level. Bear toward the right around the “C & A” store and proceed to the park,
where the tourist office will be in plain view.
If you would like to revisit the 18th century, go to Namur. It is one of the most at-
tractive towns in Belgium. The tourist office offers several excellent walking tours
and theme tours. It can also provide personalized tours upon request. For the foot-
sore and those wanting to range farther afield, book an “All-in-One” ticket that in-
cludes boat tours, harborside attractions, and the Citadel of Namur, complete with
underground explorations.
