Village Côte d'Or


This weekend there was a chocolate village in the Place Saint Lambert to celebrate the 125 years of a well known chocolate producer. The highlight was an elephant sculpted out of chocolate. That's a lot of chocolate.

Angels


Religious themes are very easy to find in Liege. Here are some photos of angels from St Martin's church.

Liège carpet


This is the carpet on the grand staircase of the Town Hall. It features the city's coat of arms, of course. It's worn and in need of restoration, like much of the city...
