Méry is a village in the former commune of Tilff, located in the commune of Esneux, in the province of Liège. Méry is located on both banks of the Ourthe halfway between Esneux (upstream) and Tilff. The Gobry stream coming from Beaufays flows into the Ourthe. The village is located at the crossroads of the national roads 633 Liège-Comblain-au-Pont and 674 amounts towards Dolembreux and the E25 motorway. On the opposite side, the coast of La Roche-aux-faucons climbed during the Liège-Bastogne-Liège cycling race begins at the Méry bridge, crosses part of the village before arriving at Avister and Boncelles.

Ourthe Canal

Highlight • River

The engineers who built this canal wanted to avoid river navigation as much as possible.

They had a canal lateral to the Ourthe dug in the alluvial plain. This reduced the dangers of currents and shoals in the adjacent watercourse.

Roche-aux-Faucons Loop

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Roche-aux-Faucons loop is a superb section of the RAVeL (Greenways and Cycle Routes in Wallonia). Eminently verdant, with a magnificent rocky ridge, the panorama is worth a pause, whether you are above or at the foot of the cliff.

July 5, 2025,Mini aventure - bikepacking avec Amaury - Comblain-au-Pont

First bikepacking "mini adventure" with Amaury.

We left Beyne-Heusay to reach Hamoir via the Ravel (41km).

We passed through villages such as Vaux-sous-Chèvremont, Chênée, Tilff, Méry, Esneux, Poulseur, and Comblain-au-Pont.

We ended our trip at the Rocher de la Vierge campsite, where we spent the night in a tent.
