THE FRENCH LANGUAGE

Liège is a city in La Wallonie, the French-speaking part of Belgium. In case you don't speak any French, I advice you to learn a few words and sentences or maybe take a dictionary.

some words you should know:
rue = street
parlez-vous anglais? = do you speak English?
place = square (or also place in another meaning)
pont = bridge
où est la gare? = where is the train station?
