Liège, a city, a spirit
In
the middle of Eurégio, Liege is also girl of Meuse. Its river
is its asset more the charmer. It draws the face of the city as much
as it soaks the character of its citizens.
Liege, thousand-year-old
city, tell its history. Its Romance and Gothic churches, its bell-towers
defying the horizon and its vast palate of the prince-bishops recall
that it was during nearly eight centuries the capital of an ecclesiastical
principality.
Liege, city nourished of
history and kneaded by time, was to be “Museum
City”. Its multiple faces are forever preserved time which passes:
the Grand Cursius, the museum of Ansembourg and the Treasury of the Cathedral, to quote
only them, are the temples of the inheritance inhabitant of Liege. Cradle
of art mosan, Liege kept the taste of the beautiful
object and work well done.
Liege
is also a cultural city with its opera and its Philharmonic orchestra,
true witnesses of a presence active on the national scene and international.
Birthplace of Georges Simenon, with whom one owes legendary Commissaire
Maigret, of Andre-Modeste Grétry, famous Master of the comic
opera, César Franck and Eugene Ysaye. Liege is also a university
town of great importance. top

Liege
abounds with parks and walks. Its proximity with the Ardennes and its
many green areas
allot to him all the charm of one city in the countryside. The Coteaux de la Citadelle (3 stars to the Michelin Green Guide), the Park of Avroy with its ponds, the Botanical garden
and the Park of Boverie amount among the places of predilection of in
love with nature.
Liege, it is also a whole
network of transportation routes placed at your disposal : highway main
roads, important waterways and a regional airport. A quite new monumental station realized by the famous Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava to the TGV. top

Liege,
town of atmosphere, tradition and folklore where the past and the present
mix harmoniously, invites us to rove in its old workings coloured by
the cordial temperament of the Inhabitants of Liege. Most popular and
formerly populous, Outremeuse, extends on Right Bank from the Meuse.
It is symbolized by a character in whom all the Inhabitants of Liege,
worthy of this name, recognize themselves: Tchantchès. On left
bank, another district, as much picturesque
and commonly called “the Square”, with
the characteristic to carry out a double life : trading during the day,
it is illuminated of all the audacities once the come night and invites
you to have fun the festival. With the terraces of the coffees, in the
taverns with the traditional decoration, the bars of students, everywhere
beer runs with floods, fresh like the water of the fountains. Liege
of the night birds has its colourful routes for the sleepless nights.
Lounge bar, with coffee-singing, of the accordion to the felted environment
of the private circles, to discover Liege, it is to take time to live.
The
greedy route of Liege leads you new kitchen to the traditional table,
international menus with the potfuls of grandmother, minute steak with
the gastronomical meal, without forgetting the thousand and one specialities
of pork-butchery or pastry making, whose “Coffee ice cream celebrates
it”, who combines French refinement with the savor of the soil.
On our premises, there is always some share something with your taste.
