For the sake of low energy consumption and a more "green" journey, be sure to favor soft mobility as much as possible.
By bike
For the closest and/or the most motivated! The RAVeL is a network of public roads (paths) managed by the Walloon Region and reserved for the circulation of pedestrians, cyclists and horse riders. The RAVeL network is very important in Wallonia, it allows access to the center of Namur in complete safety from all over the country.
We invite you to go to the Wallonia - RAVeL network portal to define your route.
