It’s a cold and rainy day!!! The city is enveloped in grey clouds with not a bit of blue anywhere.
I am headed out on a walking tour of Liège! Fortunately I have rain gear including waterproof shoes!
Liège, a city along the Meuse River in Belgium’s French-speaking Wallonia region, has long been a commercial and cultural hub. Its old town is filled with landmarks dating to the medieval era, including the Romanesque Church of St. Bartholomew. The Grand Curtius museum houses archaeological treasures and art within a 17th-century mansion, while Opéra Royal de Wallonie has staged operas since 1820.
We were rewarded for surviving the rain soaked walkabout with yummy Belgium waffles…YUMMY!!!
At over 3000 castles Belgium holds the record for the most castle per capital than any other country so I needed to visit at least one!1
Château de Modave is an ancient fortified castle was rebuilt from 1659 to 1667 in a manner showing a remarkable affinity to the most modern ideas of European country houses.
The château is unique for its splendidly preserved historic interiors and furniture dating from the 17th and 18th centuries.
The bath that was under the floor with a covering was really interesting!!
I felt like I was on the set at Downton Abbey!! A fun way to spend a rainy day!
