Jardin des deux Tours - Garden of the Two Tours

This medieval-inspired garden was inaugurated in the autumn of 2007. The Jardin des Deux Tours marked a new stage in the eco-tourism development of the City of Namur. After months of preparation and planting, this green jewel opened its doors to the public on the heights of the citadel.

The Arboretum

This is a vast landscaped park, a rich collection of remarkable trees of many different species. The Arboretum offers delicious walks along its many footpaths.

With the coming of spring, the cherry trees around the Château de Namur add to the spectacle.

This Arboretum will also attract those with a special interest in trees, since explanatory signs have been placed at the foot of more than 125 representative specimens.

Jardin des Senteurs - Garden of Scents

Located at the Château de Namur.

In the forest, in the garden: the sweet fragrances of nature are everywhere. So imagine a walk in a garden where hundreds of flowers and fragrant plants have been brought together.

This is what is offered by the Jardin des Senteurs, located on the heights of the Citadel. Access is free. By the way, there is a brochure available on the Citadel's geological trails. Ask at the Terra Nova Visitor Centre.
