About Wallonia
Wallonia is the French-speaking region of southern Belgium. It's known for its medieval towns, Renaissance-era architecture and traditional Trappist beers. Landmarks of the capital city, Namur, include baroque St. -Aubin Cathedral and the Citadel, a hilltop fort founded in the 10th century. Namur is the gateway to the southeastern Ardennes, an area of forested mountains, rivers and caves such as those at Han-sur-Lesse.
