Liège:
Liège or Luik, daughter of the Meuse River. Liège is called 'La cité ardente' (the fiery city). A city at the crossroads of Northern and Southern European culture. Liège is an old industrial center which faces the challenge of adapting to the 21st century.
Liège is also the city of George Simenon (1903 - 1989), the creator of police detective Maigret. The city’s museums hold a rich showcase of medieval religious art, the likes of which you won’t see elsewhere in Belgium – for that alone Liège merits an overnight stop.
Nowadays Liège is a rapidly changing city where old meets new. As other cities in Belgium, Liege was a major industrial center thanks to its developed iron and steel industries and the largest industrial complex in the world called Serainq.
