Namur is located close to the crossing of two highways: E411 linking Brussels to Luxembourg and E42 linking Mons to Liege. According to the place you come from you can leave, on the one hand, the E411 at the exits 13 "Champion" and 14 "Bouge" and, on the other hand, the E42 at the exit 12 "Rhisnes".
