Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. Namur
Namur stands at the meeting of two rivers, the Sambre flowing in from the west and the Meuse running north to south, and above the confluence a huge citadel stretches along a rocky spur. The Walloon capital has been a fortress town since Roman times, and the citadel as you see it is a layered thing: medieval walls, a Dutch-era rebuild, and extra works added by the engineers who followed Vauban's methods. It is among the largest fortifications in Europe, and you can ride a long way up the hillside road to the top, where a panoramic view sweeps over the red roofs and the two river valleys.
