Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Bruxelles à Namur

Looking for a memorable day ride through Belgium? The route from Brussels to Namur is a fantastic choice! Spanning just over 120 km, this journey takes you from Belgium’s vibrant, cosmopolitan capital into the heart of Wallonia, ending at the charming riverside city of Namur. Expect a mix of cycling surfaces, mostly smooth paved and asphalt cycleways, with just a bit of concrete thrown in, so it’s perfectly suited to road bikes.

You’ll leave behind Brussels’ famous Grand Place and head south through lush countryside, gentle climbs (total ascent around 520 meters), and friendly villages. The route is largely separated from traffic, rolling along peaceful bike paths, and plenty of quiet roads—the ideal combo for safe, stress-free riding.

Arriving in Namur, be sure to check out the impressive citadel looming over the confluence of the Sambre and Meuse rivers. The city’s laidback vibe (and its tasty cafés) are a perfect reward after a solid day in the saddle!
