Chi siamo

Percorso Marcia di 2,6 km da scoprire a Wallonie, Liegi, Spa. Questo percorso è proposto da Maison du Tourisme de Spa Hautes-Fagnes Ardennes.

Descrizione

This free trail allows children accompanied by their parents to have fun discovering some of Spa's characteristic architectural heritage by answering questions about buildings of heritage value that they come across in the southern district and in a district of the city centre. For older children and their parents, additional information is provided as they explore the site. You'll find it in the boxes.
We invite you to discover this part of our spa town, the original spa town that gave its name "SPA" to spa towns all over the world, and which has been on UNESCO's World Heritage List since July 2021 alongside ten other European spa towns.

WARNING

Learn to look, in town or in the country. Old facades can tell stories and tell about their lives. You don't need to be an architect or a historian. Just take the time to look at them and read them. To look, in other words, to take the time to go beyond a simple passive vision of the object and the information it contains, to go and meet the monuments. Taking the time to look up, to notice, to discover, to wonder. Learning to look at the colour of materials, the shape of windows and roofs, spotting details and unusual features. Deciphering and noting the use of materials, spotting scars, seams, extensions and heightening. Understand that the building has lived, that it has undergone transformations, that it may have undergone the evolution of styles, that it has been brought up to date.
Understand that one day, one of its inhabitants may have decided to lower the window sills to take better advantage of the natural light or, from his armchair, of the street scenes. Making a building speak, reading its façades. So many elements can say so much about one's life. Learning to look, going beyond a simple vague perception that trivialises the vision of architecture. Take the time to stop, to read a page of architecture
of architecture, to understand it, to listen to it, like a history book.
