HUY - A LITTLE TOWN ALONG THE RIVER MEUSE

As the weather was so nice we did a little excursion to Huy a cute little old town. It lies in the country's Walloon Region and Province of Liege, along the river Meuse.

Huy is also home to the finish of "the Flèche Wallonne" (Walloon Arrow).

You can read more about Huy here



When you arrive in Huy, the first thing you see sitting high above the city is the "Citadelle de Huy" (Citadel of Huy) As I couldn't take a decent picture, I prefered to show you a drawing.



I parked the car and then we strolled through the old narrow streets of Huy.



and arrived at the townsquare just in front of the city hall.



The square was surrounded by old houses and lots of restaurants and cafés.






We saw the "Bassinia" fountain, in a glass house, I couldn't find out why.



Originally it looked like this.



We also sat down and had a cool glass of beer, very much appreciated in the heat.



There also was this strange "house" standing there. First I didn't know what it was, until I saw on the other side "entrance".



I suppose it should tell us how to built a house or a shed with recuperation stuff.

Walking slowly back to the car we returned home. Huy is about 90 km ( 56 miles) from Brussels
