In 1986, Namur won the title of Walloon capital from its "big" neighbors, Liège and Charleroi. Delighted? There was no real rivalry because the final decision was more the result of a political consensus and Namur's central geographical position in Wallonia than any dominant role. Over time, Namur has really shaped itself as a capital. In the center, its pedestrian streets, its varied shops, its tempting bistros and restaurants, its art museums and its cathedral. In Jambes, the administrative city, the Elysette (seat of the Walloon government) and the stream of commuting civil servants. The Enjambée, a pedestrian-bicycle bridge, links the two banks since 2020. On its rocky outcrop, the Citadel overlooks the Meuse, the Sambre and the Walloon Parliament, which has been located since 1998 just a stone's throw from the Grognon (now called "Confluence"). Since spring 2021, it can be reached by a brand new cable car.
