Fall has arrived, adding a touch of gold, of copper to the landscapes. A feast for the eyes… for the tastebuds too, with many events taking place in our villages and towns. The season will start with Wallonia’s heritage days, on September 10 and 11, 2022 an event free to attend
This autumn, (re)discover Walloon heritage from a different angle
Take a stroll off the beaten path, through colourful districts rich in street art. Enjoy solving riddles and enigmas along the way, the hints taking you through the prettiest towns and villages. See the past and present blend harmoniously through historical visits, immersing you in the experience with technology.
Here is a selection of activities and trails different from usual artistic and architectural tours. Innovation and creativity will reveal a different side of our Walloon heritage: amazing discoveries await.
Street art trails
Wander from one urban creation to another in our Walloon towns. Charleroi is now well known for its murals but Liège, Verviers, Mons, Thuin, Namur and Louvain-la-Neuve are sure to wow you too.
