Marche, EDEN city

Starting from the car park on Place de l’Étang, the trail first takes you through the narrow lanes of the capital of Famenne, the delightful town of Marche-en-Famenne. From the early 1970s to the present day, the town
has undergone an active and highly successful programme of urban renovation, retaining all the treasures inherited from the architecture of the past and adding new, modern and artistic touches.You will have plenty of opportunity to experience its charms for yourself, thanks to its narrow streets, characterful historic buildings, pedestrian zones, tree-shaded squares, and frequent fountains and sculptures. Not surprising, then, that in 2011 the town of Marche should be named Belgium’s winner in the European Destinations of Excellence (EDEN) competition, in recognition of its work on rehabilitating its many sites of interest and preserving its built heritage.
