Wépion, a leafy suburb of Namur, is synonymous with strawberries in Belgium. The area's fertile soil and microclimate have made it a prime strawberry-growing region for over a century. Visitors can explore vast strawberry fields, pick their own berries in season, and visit local farms that sell fresh strawberries and strawberry-based products. The highlight is the annual Strawberry Festival (Fête de la Fraise) held in June, featuring parades, markets, and tastings. Wépion also offers pleasant walking and cycling paths along the Meuse River, with views of the surrounding hills and the nearby citadel of Namur.
