The panorama at one hundred and ninety metres

Below, you distinguish the whole extent of the town, its roofs, its bell towers and its monuments, as well as the confluence of the Sambre and the Meuse, that precise point where the two rivers join, forming the tip of the Grognon, the historic heart of Namur. The gaze also reaches the verdant hills that surround the town and the arms of the two watercourses that wind in the valley. It is the ideal place to understand the geography of Namur and its strategic position, and to grasp at a single glance the beauty of its natural site. At sunset, the spectacle is magnificent.
