Walk in the area of Floreffe
This walk will introduce you to the different facets of Floreffe Abbey in the Sambre Valley. Since the 12th century, Floreffe Abbey, perched on a rocky spur, has dominated the town and the Sambre River. Until the French Revolution, the site was occupied by the Premonstratensian Order. From the early 19th century, a major diocesan college opened its doors. Over time, the school opened new departments. Nine centuries of architecture coexist here. A guided tour of the site will introduce you to them, including the impressive abbey church with its beautiful Baroque choir stalls. The walk takes you around the abbey, which you'll have the opportunity to glimpse in the distance several times. After the effort, come the comfort of tasting local products. The old mill-brewery will welcome you for a well-deserved tasting.

Sanctuary of Saint Renelde
Places of interest
Away from the hustle and bustle, nestled in the greenery of Floreffe, stands the Sainte-Renelde chapel, a place steeped in memory and popular traditions.

Popular belief has maintained a unique ritual: pilgrims would leave clothes or linens that had touched the affected part of their body, in gratitude or in the hope of recovery.Today, the Sainte-Renelde sanctuary still intrigues and attracts believers seeking healing, the curious, walkers, and lovers of unusual heritage. Blending spirituality, folklore, and local history, it remains a living testament to the devotional traditions of Namur.Pleasant walks allow visitors to explore this mysterious site.
