To better showcase the region's treasures

A house to promote the assets of six municipalities. But what is there to see or do? Today, the tourist will find all the info on the 6 municipalities Like a happy omen, the 2004 tourist season at the Château des Comtes de Modave opened under a radiant sun this Sunday morning. It was also the occasion to celebrate another event. While the first day-trippers were storming the paths along the castle, inside, mayors, a representative of Minister Kubla, and aldermen celebrated the inauguration of the new Tourist Office of the Huy Meuse-Condroz region. It is located on quai de Namur in Huy and brings together the municipalities of Tinlot, Marchin, Modave, Nandrin, Huy, and Clavier. A more global vision "The advantage of the tourist offices," explains president André Godelet, "is that they provide a regional and coordinated vision of activities." A tourist who goes to quai de Namur can therefore receive information on the different participating municipalities.
