Namur is a city and municipality in Wallonia, the French-speaking region of Belgium, and it is the capital both of the province that bears its name and of Wallonia as a whole. The Parliament of Wallonia, the Government of Wallonia and the regional administration all sit in the city. It stands where the Sambre meets the Meuse, and its territory straddles three landscape regions: Hesbaye to the north, Condroz to the south-east and Entre-Sambre-et-Meuse to the south-west. The larger city of Charleroi lies to the west, and the language spoken in Namur is French. The municipality is made up of a number of former communities, among them Jambes, Malonne, Saint-Servais, Wépion, Vedrin and Namur proper, which together form the present-day city.
