The province of Liège is one of the ten provinces of Belgium. It is located in Wallonia and its capital, Cork, is also the official economic capital of Wallonia.
Understand
The province is divided into four administrative districts: Liège, Huy, Verviers and Waremme and into two judicial districts: Liège and Eupen (for the nine German-speaking municipalities). It has 84 municipalities, 15 of which have city status.
It is the easternmost Belgian province and whose highest point, the Botrange signal, is also that of the country. It also has the most contrasting landscapes; ranging from the rural plateau of Hesbaye, nicknamed the “granary of Belgium”, to the hills and dark forests of the Ardennes cut by deep valleys, passing through the groves of the Pays de Herve as well as by the moors and peat bogs of the High Fens.
It is also a region steeped in history in which the south of the Meuse furrow has been occupied by man since the Magdalenian and with the current capital, Cork, which was the capital of an independent state of Holy Roman Empire between 982 and 1795: the Principality of Liège.
The traveler may be surprised that the lingua franca in the eastern part of the province isGerman but the French speaker will not be too disturbed because nearly 90% of the population also knows the language of Molière.

Weather
The climate is of a degraded oceanic type characterized by mild and rainy winters and cool and relatively humid summers.
The driest months are January and April with average rainfall. 36 mm per square meter and the rainiest month is July with average precipitation 74 mm per square meter. However, if the annual average is 800 mm north of the Meuse valley, this is 1 000 mm south of the same valley and goes up to 1 400 mm on the Hautes Fagnes plateau. It should also be noted that although the heaviest precipitation occurs in summer, it is mainly due to thunderstorms at the end of the day or during the night. In winter, the Meuse constitutes a real thermal barrier against the cold winds coming from the east, it is not uncommon for the eastern plateaus of the valley to experience snow precipitation while the north of this valley is in the rain. . The average number of days of snow is 35 and the snowpack above 400 meters altitude allows the practice of sliding sports in general from the end of December to mid-March.
In terms of temperatures, the differences can also be significant, especially in winter, between the regions located north of the Meuse and those located to the south. The coldest month is January with average minimum and maximum temperatures of respectively 0 ° C and 5 ° C north of the Meuse and decreasing to the south of the river with average minimum and maximum temperatures of -3 ° C and 2 ° C on the High Fens. The hottest month is July with average minimum and maximum temperatures of 12.5 ° C and 23 ° C respectively north of the Meuse and decreasing to the south of the river to reach only 10 ° C and 20 ° c on the high plateau.
History
The origin of the province of Liège dates back to 1795. At the meeting of the Principality of Liège to revolutionary France, the Ourthe department was mainly based on the meeting of the Principality of Stavelot-Malmedy and the central part of the principality of Liège.
At the fall of the First Empire, this department was dissolved and replaced, in 1814, by the province of Liège (at the time of united kingdom of the netherlands).
After 1830, the province of Liège became Belgian but it was not until 1919 that its eastern borders were definitively fixed, with the annexation of the Eastern townships to Belgium.
Following the establishment of the linguistic border in 1963, certain municipalities changed their provincial affiliation, including Landen which was attached to Brabant (currently Flemish Brabant), or the municipality of Fourons ((nl)Voeren) originally from Liège which found itself attached against its will to the Limburg province with, however, linguistic facilities for French speakers. Since that time, a French-speaking electoral list called “Return to Liège” has requested the meeting of the municipality in the province of Liège. However, demographic change and the attribution to Dutch living in Belgium the right to vote in municipal elections play against French speakers.
At the same time, nine municipalities, that is to say: Ambleve, Bullange, Burg-Reuland, Butgenbach, Eupen, Calamine, Lontzen, Raeren and St. Vith have been inserted into the German-speaking Community of Belgium but remained attached to the province and depend, administratively, on the district of Verviers.

Speak
French is the go-anywhere language in the province of Liège. However, in the east of the province, the nine municipalities forming the German-speaking Community of Belgium are, as the name specifies, German-speaking with facilities for French-speaking people. This means that your interlocutors will speak German but that they will also speak, for the most part, French and that in the administrations, the two languages have equal value.
The province of Liège is famous for containing certain very singular accents for uninformed ears as well as certain very particular "words" such as "Oufti!" », Which could be translated by the ancient« Diantre! ". Many people from Liege also end their sentences with a “eh! Which depending on the intonation given to the word can mean annoyance or questioning ("you're bothering me. Huh!" "Did I make myself understood? Huh?").
Some idiomatic expressions Walloons have also passed into the everyday language of the Liège region (or even the entire Wallonia or even from Brussels), but everyone knows, in principle, how to speak correct French.

By bike
Except in the Ardennes of Liège, the province is quite well endowed with cycle paths and more particularly in Hesbaye and in the valley of the Meuse. The Wallonia has, moreover, undertaken since the beginning of the 2000s to secure these cycle lanes by physically separating them from the road reserved for motor vehicles where possible.
In the Condroz and, above all, in Hesbaye, you will also find a lot of rural paths (also known as "regrouping paths") which allow non-motorized traffic and agricultural tractors to circulate between the plots. Be careful that, although prohibited, you may come across a motorist looking for shortcuts. Also note that if you come across an agricultural tractor, given the reduced width of the road, you will sometimes have to dismount to let the machine pass and that this road can be slippery in autumn because of the earth left by the agricultural machinery during the sugar beet harvesting period.

The province is also crossed by several routes of the RAVeL (signposted 
) reserved for pedestrians, cyclists, people with reduced mobility and horse riders, where the situation allows:
- long distances:
- EuroVelo 3 (The pilgrim route) (can also be marked
) – Connects Trondheim at Santiago de Compostela in 5 122 km - The Meuse by bike (EuroVelo 19) – Connects Pouilly-en-Bassigny at Hoek van Holland over a distance of 1 150 km and mostly along the waterway. In the province of Liège, this route follows the Meuse between Gives and Cork and the Albert canal between Herstal and Lanaye
- RAVeL W2 (Beer Route) – Connects Braine-l'Alleud at Aachen in 177 km. Between Liège and Aachen, the route is identical to that taken by EuroVelo 3.
- EuroVelo 3 (The pilgrim route) (can also be marked
- medium distances
- RAVel W7 (On the Ardennes road, Ourthe) – Connects Lannaye at Broth. In the province of Liège, this route goes from Lannaye to Sy.
- Vennbahn (RAVeL 9, RAVeL L48) – Connects Aachen at Three Virgins,Raeren at St. Vith in the province of Liège over a distance of 71 km. One might think that the route winds from Belgian territory to German territory on several occasions, but it is not, because it follows the old Vennbahn which according to the Treaty of Versailles of 1919, is located in Belgium and, consequently, on the territory of the province of Liège. It is accessible to riders only in the municipality of Raeren,
- RAVel W7 (On the Ardennes road, Ourthe) –
- short distances:
- RAVeL L45 (Greenway of the former principality) – Connects Three-Bridges at Jünkerath in Germany (Trois-Ponts at Losheimergraben, the German border, and from a distance of 39,6 km in the province of Liège). It is fully accessible to riders in Belgium.
- RAVeL L126 – Connects Ciney at Huy (where it joins EuroVelo 19) over a total distance of 35 km. In the province, it goes from Keyboard in Huy. It is fully accessible to riders,
- RAVeL L127 – Connects Bertrée at Huccorgne via an old railway line 127. Of a length of 21,9 km, it is entirely in the province.

Circulate by bike in the valleys of the Meuse, Ourthe and Amblève as well as on the hesbignon tray and the Hautes Fagnes plateau does not require much effort. However, the Pays de Herve and the Ardennes of Liège are much more hilly. The slopes of the valleys can conceal rather steep routes even for sportsmen. Several coasts are also famous in the world of cycling races:
- Bol d'Air Coast (Ougrée) – From a distance of 3,700 meters and a slope of 190 meters, its average slope is 5.1% with a maximum of 24%
