Creatures will take over the Château de Lavaux-Sainte-Anne to haunt its rooms, leaving no chance for its visitors. Namur will also find itself immersed in a terrifying atmosphere during the shows of its Horror Festival.
Namur and Lavaux-Sainte-Anne aren't the only ones donning their Halloween costumes. Many places will be hosting festivities during this time, all dedicated to monsters (and candy).
Are you more into a nighttime stroll, a spooky show, or a complete immersion? Put on your best costume and go for it. The monsters better watch out.
