In one weekend you can travel by house boat to the city of Namur for a city break in the capital of Wallonia.

After the wide, inhabited Meuse around the town of Dinant, head south and you will find a narrower, wilder river at the French border, located in the heart of the Ardennes Regional Nature Park. After only a short day’s cruising, you will cross the French-Belgian border and discover a landscape that is just as breathtaking. You will pass through the small towns of Givet, Ham-sur- Meuse (with its discreet canal tunnel), Revin and the town of Monthermé. The real stars of this weekend or week-long river cruise are the cliffs and natural landscapes of the Ardennes. Here you will feel completely free to enjoy your holiday on a licence free house boat.
