Louvain La Neuve is the third city of Walloon Brabant, after Waterloo and Nivelles to win the star “is worth the visit” of the Michelin Voyage and Culture Guide. A city very different from the other two, which is delighted with this recognition.
“It is a major recognition for our university and pedestrian city which thus enters the limited circle of the essential tourist destinations of Belgium”rejoice the city of Ottignies-Louvain-la-Neuve and its tourist office in a statement this Monday, May 5.
The guide introduces it as follows: “new city founded in the 1970s […]”. This is clearly the specificity of this” new “city of the 1970s, entirely pedestrian, to” permanent “animation, which seems to have oriented the choice of the guide which also notes” cafes and omnipresent student circles “,” wall frescoes in reference to the 9th art “. Here, no secular heritage, such as the battlefield of Waterloo or the collegial of Nivelles. “It reassures me in a way, reacts Geoffrey Moulard, director of communication at Visit Wallonia. Culture and heritage are something alive, and there, we are on a young and dynamic culture and heritage that deserve a distinction in the same way as an old heritage “.
A star, interesting recognition.
“It is a highlighting of the city”. Both for those who read guides and for those who will see communication on social networks.
The cultural offer of Louvain-la-Neuve is also recognized by the guide which awards 2 stars at the Hergé Museum and 1 at the L Museum and its architecture, museums which already had 3 and 2 backpacks respectively in the Routard Guide.
