Gîte host tip 💡
« There’s nothing quite like a morning in Malmedy! Take a stroll through the pedestrian town centre to pick up local produce from artisan shops, then settle down on a sunny terrace at Place Albert Ier for a refreshing local beer. It’s also the ideal starting point for a scenic walk along the Warche river or a hike up to the summit of the Calvary hill for a magnificent view over the entire city! »
