These roads are a little way from the left bank of the Meuse and wind their way through the districts of Val Benoît, Sclessin and Tilleur. The directional signs indicate that you should continue towards Seraing and Huy along small local roads. This footbridge is just before the motorway bridge over the Meuse. This takes you close to the Meuse river which you cross using a footbridge adjoining a second railway bridge. A short connecting stretch leads to the Ourthe canal RAVeL. Here you head towards rue du Biez which is just before the railway bridge. You go past the Belle-Île shopping centre to the Quai du Condroz in Angleur, still on the left bank of the Ourthe.
