Tent complex at Foire des Vignerons in Namur

Under the glorious spring sunshine, Place du Grognon in Namur was extremely welcoming for the first edition of the Foire des Vignerons, which took place from 8 to 11 April 2011.

The lovely location and the well balanced selection of French wines served as a pleasant setting for the tent complex that Veldeman set up there.

The 15 x 30 m pavilion with reinforced floor was home to the 38 booths, each representing one of the 14 different wine-growing regions of France.

A restaurant was set up on the first floor of the 10 x 20 m multi-storey tent. Two highlights of the city of Namur were absolutely essential in creating the mood: the imposing citadel and the Parliament of Wallonia.

Did you miss it? Not to worry: 2012 and 2013 are already booked and you will be able to sample and buy wines from the producers and expand your wine cellar in Namur.
