From Liège, on the Quai du Condroz Angleur, you leave behind the RAVeL on the left bank of the Ourthe to head towards the Meuse and the future Cité des Métiers on the Val Benoît site. At the exit of Seraing, a city surrounded by industrial metallurgical complexes, former jewels of the Liège economy, is the Val Saint Lambert site. It consists of the Castle and its Cistercian abbey erected during the thirteenth century. Rich in a long, internationally-recognised industrial past, you have the opportunity to visit the famous Val Saint-Lambert Crystal Glassworks. A good ten kilometres further away, you will see on your right the towers of the Amay collegiate dating from the seventh century, and in front of you, stand the Tihange nuclear power plant cooling towers. You then enter the beautiful old town of Huy, rich in historical heritage, and arriving under the headland of the Citadel, a thought haunts you, but where is this famous wall that wears out the calves of the slaves of the road!
