attractions the region holds for visitors of the <strong>Province</strong><br />

edition, and weigh up the many tempting options: even<br />

The location<br />
• Cruises on the Meuse. The Meuse has shaped<br />
the people of <strong>Liège</strong>, giving them a sense of work<br />
with its driving power, of space with its winding<br />
bed and ramifications, and a sense of beauty in<br />
its gorgeous valleys. The Meuse has now become<br />
a tourist route as well. On board the Sarcelle IV,<br />
take a cruise on the Meuse to discover <strong>Liège</strong><br />
from a different and enchanting viewpoint. Go<br />
with the flow for an hour - from Val Benoit and<br />
Canal Albert, gli<strong>de</strong> un<strong>de</strong>r the city bridges Fragnée,<br />

<strong>Liège</strong> goes with the flow…<br />
Another way to discover <strong>Liège</strong>,<br />
the Meuse and the water world<br />
• Gui<strong>de</strong>d tour of <strong>Liège</strong>. <strong>Liège</strong> first sprang up between<br />
the Meuse River and the tomb of Saint<br />
Lambert. Its history can still be read between<br />
the river and the base of the hills, from the<br />
former Saint-Bartholomew collegiate church,<br />
up to the heart of the city: the Palace of the<br />
Bishop Princes, town hall, the market place and<br />
its ornamental fountain. Mean<strong>de</strong>r through the<br />
old town, taking the time to admire the historic<br />
heart of <strong>Liège</strong>, the cathedral and vicinity, the<br />
Outremeuse and the “Sentier <strong>de</strong>s Coteaux”, the<br />
footpath up the left bank.<br />
The tours<br />
• This new programme “<strong>Liège</strong> goes with the<br />
flow” connects these three poles of attraction in<br />
<strong>Liège</strong> in a combination offering a unique opportunity<br />
to discover the various districts of <strong>Liège</strong><br />
between the Meuse and the base of the hills. Admire<br />
the city from the water as you drift down<br />
the river and explore the other si<strong>de</strong> of the surface<br />
as you discover the fish in the Meuse, and<br />
the un<strong>de</strong>rwater world of the entire planet.<br />
• In practice, take your pick of two of these sites.<br />
• Don’t forget that you can also visit every attraction<br />
separately.<br />

Visit of Archaeoforum<br />
A 9,000-year journey through time beneath Place<br />
Saint-Lambert. The Archaeoforum on Place Saint-<br />
Lambert, right at the heart of <strong>Liège</strong>, houses a<br />
vast archaeological site where excavations have<br />
been conducted for more than a century. Archaeologists<br />
have found evi<strong>de</strong>nce of a history thousands<br />
of years old, with many distinctive stages<br />
and events: prehistoric habitation, the construction<br />
of a Gallo-roman villa, the assassination of<br />
Bishop Lambert, the building of churches <strong>de</strong>dicated<br />
to the holy martyr, the <strong>de</strong>struction of St<br />
Lambert’s cathedral by the Liégeois…<br />
Visit the Treasures<br />
of St Paul’s Cathedral<br />
Saint-Paul Cathedral retains<br />
the essential features<br />
of the old Saint-<br />
Lambert cathedral. The<br />
Treasures offer a remarkable<br />

Relive a day in the life of a bishop-prince<br />
In the course of this whole-day visit you will discover three major heritage sites linked to the<br />
history of the Principality of <strong>Liège</strong>: the Archaeoforum, the Treasures of St Paul’s Cathedral, and<br />
the former Palace of the Bishop Princes. Enjoy luncheon in a restaurant renowned for its typical<br />
local cuisine and its <strong>de</strong>lightful atmosphere. What better or more original way to discover the<br />
archaeology, the art, the history and the gastronomy of the region than this visit, right at the<br />
heart of the historical and commercial core of this vital city.<br />
Visit the former Palace<br />
of the Bishop Princes<br />
The former Palace of the Bishop Princes today<br />
accommodates the seat of the Provincial Government<br />
and the Courts of Justice of <strong>Liège</strong>. This<br />

heritage, bears witness to various periods between<br />
the 16th and 19th centuries. You will begin<br />
your voyage of discovery in the Notger courtyard,<br />
neo-gothic in style, and a legacy of the<br />
days when <strong>Liège</strong>, having lost its status as capital<br />
city of the Principality, was on the threshold of<br />
enjoying new-found prosperity in the Industrial<br />
Age.<br />
A majestic entrance hall welcomes visitors,<br />
who then discover a suite of 18th-century salons<br />
where members of the nobility once foregathered,<br />
and, on the first floor, the impressive<br />
chamber of the provincial Council and the outer<br />
waiting hall.<br />

Part one: Man observes<br />
The first part of the exhibition features the serene<br />
beauty of our planet - a jewel worth preserving.<br />
Review of its past over 4.6 million years,<br />
through the stages of glaciation and re-warming,<br />
makes it possible to show that the present<br />
rate of climate change is unparallelled. Amazing<br />
photos and graphics reveal the alarming speed<br />
at which this change is taking place.<br />
Part two: Man is alarmed<br />
The second part is <strong>de</strong>dicated to the present and<br />
future effets of climate change<br />
in four vital areas: water (lack of drinking water,<br />
violence of rainfalls, water pollution…), food<br />
(loss of agricultural land, increased drought…),<br />
ecosystems (extinction of species, forest fires…)<br />
and health (mortality induced by heat and<br />
drought, air pollution…).<br />
Spectacular three-dimensional installations indicate<br />
the disastrous long-term effects of global<br />
warming and reveal the interacton between<br />
climate change and other problems, upon which<br />
it has a negative effect. These installations immerse<br />
visitors in the subject and awaken their<br />

The tours<br />
1. The mine (2 hrs more or less)<br />
Following a short introductory film on the history<br />
of coal and mining (4 languages and 4 language<br />
sub-titles to choose from), the first stage<br />
of the tour (around two hours) will be a journey<br />
to the heart of this land excavated by man: a <strong>de</strong>scent<br />
in the hoisting cage to 30 metres and 60<br />
metres un<strong>de</strong>rground, a journey through un<strong>de</strong>rground<br />
tunnels and a look at how coal was cut.<br />
Everything here is authentic.<br />
The propped up tunnels, the smell of the coal<br />
works and, even more dramatically, the noise of<br />
the various machines (which the gui<strong>de</strong>s set in<br />
motion for the visitors’ benefit, luckily only for<br />
a few minutes!), give a glimpse of the working<br />
conditions un<strong>de</strong>rground. Then there is a tour of<br />
the for coal washing and sorting facilities, from<br />
when the coal is stored until it is transported,<br />
allowing us to see the full cycle of coal, from the<br />
time it is mined to the time it is sold.<br />
Blegny-Mine :<br />
In an exceptional setting, visitors learn about the work and culture of the miners, and gain an<br />
insight into their harsh lives and the importance and history of an economy which provi<strong>de</strong>d a<br />
livelihood for generations of workers and their families, both here and elsewhere. Whole swathes<br />
of Northern Europe, including Wales, Northern Germany, Northern France, the Borinage and<br />
Campine regions, dutch Limburg, <strong>Liège</strong> and even the region of Aachen, spent <strong>de</strong>ca<strong>de</strong>s in thrall to<br />
the collieries.<br />
2. Mine Museum (1.30 hr)<br />
In a museum housed in a 19th century building<br />
(with no fewer than twenty admirably preserved<br />
rooms), you will be told the entire history of<br />
mining through its particularly rich and diverse<br />
collection of objects. This exciting show provi<strong>de</strong>s<br />
a perfect educational counterpoint to the<br />
more emotional tour of the un<strong>de</strong>rground tunnels.<br />
• The day may be punctuated by a trip in a tourist<br />
fun train to view the orchards of the Basse-<br />
Meuse region (1 hr). This visit to Blegny-Mine<br />

Meuse between <strong>Liège</strong> and Visé, which inclu<strong>de</strong>s<br />

Did prehistoric man really drag his woman about<br />
by the hair? Did he chase dinosaurs wielding a<br />
club? Did he live in caves? Are our notions about<br />
prehistory true or false? Mythic Prehistory is a<br />
temporary exhibition presenting films, photos<br />
and adverts which display some of our craziest<br />
fantasies about prehistory. The exhibition<br />
was created by scientists from the Museum of<br />
Solutré (France).<br />

The château of Modave<br />
The château <strong>de</strong> Modave is perched on a rocky<br />
peak in the heart of a 450-hectare nature reserve.<br />
The château contains a score of richly<br />
<strong>de</strong>corated and lavishly furnished rooms. The<br />
most ancient part of the buildings dates from<br />
the beginning of the feudal period, the rest from<br />
the 17th century. The interior is sumptuously appointed.<br />
An interesting feature is a mo<strong>de</strong>l of the<br />
Rennequin Sualem machine which ma<strong>de</strong> it possible<br />
to raise the waters of the Hoyoux to 57m,<br />
so that they reached the château.<br />
Modave is open to visitors from April 1st to November<br />
15th - Closed Mondays and Bank holidays.<br />
The château of Jehay<br />
The château <strong>de</strong> Jehay is one of Belgium’s most<br />
beautiful châteaux, with its chequered faça<strong>de</strong>,<br />
the only example in Europe. Although some<br />
parts of the building date back to the Middle<br />
Ages, what we see today represents more an example<br />
of the style of the 16th and 17th centuries.<br />
Splendid collections of the last private owner<br />
and woo<strong>de</strong>d Ttalina Style parkland.<br />
Jehay is open April-October, daily.<br />
