The NID puts citizens at the heart of the debate around the future of Namur and questions the role of cities in the face of current and future challenges. Our society faces many dangers: climate change, energy dependence, erosion of biodiversity, conflicts, loss of social ties, impoverishment ... If cities are - at least in part - at the origin of these problems, they can also be the source of solutions! To reflect together on these challenges, the NID deploys 3 spaces: Namur in question Namur in transition Namur tomorrow

A Walk through Nature and History Located in the Lesse Valley, not far from Dinant, the Furfooz Nature Reserve invites you to explore archaeological, natural, and geological heritage through a family-friendly walk of about 4 km. Perfect for Families The Furfooz park is particularly suitable for family outings. With its diverse environments (forests, meadows, Lesse riverbanks, etc.), the nature walk winds its way past 15 remarkable elements of the reserve that will satisfy both young and old alike. A delightful pit stop at the park's refreshment stand, named La Flobette, is possible along the Lesse. Don't forget your camera... Furfooz, a Slice of Provence When it comes to nature, the sunny, rocky cliffs also host quite interesting plants typical of sun-drenched limestone slopes, providing ample satisfaction for numerous insects. The site is also maintained by sheep. Moreover, the park is a recognized nature reserve accredited by the Walloon Region and unique in Belgium. An Exceptional Heritage On the historical side, the Furfooz massif has been continuously inhabited since prehistoric times (caves) up to the medieval period (plateau). Over time, the Lesse River has carved through the entire rocky massif, leaving behind a multitude of caves, caverns, and holes. These have been inhabited by humans for millennia (approximately 14,000 years). Additionally, you can see the start of the Lesse's underground branch. The archaeological heritage is very rich, as numerous objects have been found here, allowing us to trace the site's occupation over time. Closer to our time, a fortress and baths were erected at the end of the Roman period. Only the ruins remain, though the baths were completely reconstructed in 1958; this life-size monument alone is worth the visit!

 With its magnificent towers and beautiful woodwork, the Château de Vêves seems straight out of a fairy tale. It is considered one of the most beautiful medieval castles in Belgium, an exceptional heritage site in Wallonia.

Fiefdom of Pépin de Herstal in the 8th century, then fortress of the Lords of Beaufort (rebuilt by them in 1410), then home of their descendants the Counts of Liedekerke Beaufort, Vêves appears to us today as a living and harmonious witness to past centuries and a brilliant example of military art . A magical castle Perched on a rocky peak, it is made up of five admirable towers as well as a remarkable half-timbered gallery (16th century). By discovering the castle apartments, the visitor will also be taken in by the charm of a refined atmosphere: 18th century furniture, rare porcelain, historical souvenirs and paintings.

 The Archaeological Museum of Namur is a cultural and scientific establishment managed by the City of Namur. It is one of the oldest museums in Belgium and one of the most important in the Wallonia-Brussels Federation in terms of archeology. Created by the Archaeological Society of Namur in 1849, it had been installed in the Halle al'Chair since 1855! It has acquired an important reputation in Europe, notably due to its collections from the end of Roman Antiquity and the Merovingian period. The Archaeological Museum will soon be accessible to the public again in a brand new exhibition space within the Pôle Les Bateliers , rue Saintraint, next to the other municipal museum, the Museum of Decorative Arts (Hôtel de Groesbeeck- de Croix) , with which he will share a common welcome in the Chapel of the Boatmen. The complete overhaul of the museography, currently underway, aims to make visitors rediscover the archaeological collections devoted to the Namur region - from the Paleolithic to the Middle Ages - but also to put into perspective the knowledge acquired by archeology to understand the present and serve the future. The permanent exhibition rooms are currently closed to the public but the Archaeological Museum of Namur still carries out its research and dissemination missions and is also exported through various temporary exhibitions within the Pole or outside the walls.

 L'association "Les Plus Beaux Villages de Wallonie" a été créée en 1994 pour valoriser l'identité des régions rurales wallonnes. La diversité de ses paysages et de ses bâtisses traditionnelles constitue un patrimoine naturel et architectural exceptionnel et privilégié, que l'association veut préserver et inviter à découvrir. Elle compte un réseau de 33 villages labellisés parmi les 8 régions paysagères de Wallonie. Depuis sa création, le projet porté par l'association « Les Plus Beaux Villages de Wallonie » s'attache à la valorisation du patrimoine architectural et naturel et s'inscrit dans le développement d'un tourisme doux et responsable. Reflets d'une architecture traditionnelle, riche et diversifiée et porteurs d'une identité territoriale forte, nos villages constituent de véritables portes d'entrée vers la découverte du patrimoine culturel et naturel wallon. Au travers de multiples actions et activités, nos beaux villages contribuent au développement d'un tourisme durable et de proximité qui crée des emplois et met en valeur notre histoire, notre culture et nos produits locaux. Nos objectifs sont : Mettre en réseau les « Plus Beaux Villages » en animant et amplifiant leur notoriété par des actions aidant la promotion et le développement du tourisme rural wallon intégré dans un processus plus global de valorisation d'un tourisme durable et de proximité. Elaborer une politique de développement durable qui s'appuie d'une part sur la mise en valeur et la protection du patrimoine architectural et paysager des villages et, d'autre part, sur la valorisation des produits liés à l'identité régionale (produits du terroir, artisanat local, histoire locale…). Mieux faire connaître au public les richesses touristiques architecturales, culturelles et naturelles de la Wallonie en menant une politique de produits et d'événements (promenades, manifestations, audio-guides, …). Encourager les villages labellisés et leur Commune à développer une politique d'accueil conciliant confort du résident et des visiteurs (ex. : création d'une aire de stationnement, aménagement d'espace convivial, traitement de la signalétique d'accueil…). Et ainsi, donner aux « Plus Beaux Villages » une plus-value leur amenant l'image de marque indispensable à leur notoriété et à leur développement. Les Plus Beaux Villages de Wallonie, c'est l'authenticité juste à côté de chez vous. Soutenez-nous dans nos actions de préservation et de valorisation du patrimoine rural ainsi que dans les activités que notre asbl met en place au sein des villages du réseau.
