Русская версия Castle and Gardens of Annevoie Designed and laid out between 1758 and 1776 by Charles-Alexis of Montpellier, the classical gardens of Annevoie blend French 17th century rigour with English fantasy and Italian charm. Some 50 fountains, cascades and water jets, and 20 ornemental ponds make of Annevoie one of the most delightful gardens in Belgium. The Montpellier family established themselves in Annevoie in 1696, and the 10th generation since then still occupies the property. A detailed virtual visit of the gardens is available on the official website. Admission The castle is only open daily from 1 April to 1 November from 9:30am to 5:30pm (till 6:30pmin July and August). Visits are by guided tours of 1 hour 45 minutes. Entry is 6.20 € for adults, and 3.70 € for children. How to get there The Castle of Annevoie is located halfway between Namur and Dinant on the left bank of the Meuse River. By car, take the E411 (Brussels-Namur-Luxembourg) motorway, and exit at junction 14 (Namur-Bouge/Achêne), then follow the N92 towards Dinant. Using public transports, bus No 21 from Namur station takes about 30min and stops right in front of the gardens.
