Namur, Nature
Developing nature in the city, conserving, even encouraging greater biodiversity and putting in place eco-tourism facilities that are unique in Wallonia are among the city’s goals. Namur has, in particular, developed a network of themed gardens. There are six of them: the Garden of Colorful Plants, the Garden of Scents, the Garden of the Two Towers, the Garden of Small Fruits, and the Jean Chalon Garden, also known as the Garden of Symbols or the Garden of Poets. Covering an area of 17,340 ha spread over two bio-geographic regions (Brabant and Mosan), Namur is home to a significant and diversified natural heritage of outstanding quality.
