What to do and see in Namur, Wallonia: The Best Gift & Specialty Shops

Reviewed By 246graz - Vilnius, Lithuania

Cosy, small museum about history of strawberries and Wepion strawberry cultivation traditions. The hosts are very friendly, the host explained everything very interestingly and gave plenty of recommendations about "must sees" in the region. And yes, he knows a lot about strawberries, and Wepion's history. The visit to the museum lasts some 20-25 minutes, and you can also taste some strawberry- based products (juice, etc.). You can buy tickets i advance (via internet), or at place. There is a nice souvenirs' corner too. We also liked very much the garden (which is a part of the museum), on the other side of the road - you can see famous Belgian strawberry varieties ("Joly"), wine grapes, raspberries, blackberries, figs, mulberries, small orchard of ornamented apple/pear trees, even exotic fruits corner. some 800 m. away there is a "strawberry" kiosk , you can buy strawberries there (decently priced) . In front of "strawberry" kiosk (you cant miss it - it is plastic "strawberry" booth, near parking along the Moselle river) there is an Ice Cream restaurant - "Fleur de lait". It is open during Corona-pandemic, they let 3 persons at a time. The taste is just "the best", and, of course, they serve strawberry ice cream too (sorbet de la fraise). If you pass by, of have spare time after the visit to Namur - dont miss the museum1
