Namur offers nature in all its splendour. In the heart of the village, you'll find Le jardin de la relève, adorned with cabins created by six professional artists in 2013 under the theme Ma cabane au Canada. A place to recharge your batteries and breathe in the fresh air. Not far away, the Caracole park is sure to entertain your children.
Namur is a municipality of 571 souls, incorporated in 1964 and founded around 1870 by a group of settlers from the Belgian town of Namur. The town still maintains special ties with its Belgian sister Namur. The Fêtes Namuroises are held on Quebec soil once every three years, bringing together the two cultures as well as that of Namur in Wisconsin, USA.
St. Paul's Church is closely linked to the municipality's history, while the village's restaurants offer visitors the opportunity to enjoy a delicious meal. For a gourmet break, Koko Café is a must. Offering tasty sandwiches, fresh poké bowls, comforting coffees and prepared meals, this little café is also the ideal place to enjoy a local craft beer. A stone's throw away, the Moulin du Temps, the oldest restaurant in the village, offers an authentic culinary experience in a setting steeped in history. And of course, for accommodation and culture, there's Le Salon des Inconnus, a place where art, creativity and hospitality meet. As an inn and arts center nestled in an 1898 Victorian house, Le Salon offers an immersive experience where visitors can reconnect with themselves, nature and their creativity. Many events take place here, such as the Yule and Litha parties, as well as Creative Exiles and shows.
Speaking of events: in addition to its natural charm and historical heritage, our village is full of little treasures to discover. Every late summer, the Festival du Bûcheron attracts visitors and locals alike to celebrate the region's forestry traditions. It's a festive occasion filled with competitions, craft demonstrations and family activities that showcase Namur's cultural heritage.
