From Erquelinnes to Namur

The long industrial and port zone of Charleroi makes a sharp contrast with the rural environment of the other reaches of the Sambre. From Erquelinnes to Namur, the river, which is very sinuous, serves numerous tourist sites of the Hainaut. It is a pretty Franco-Belgian transit channel, a pleasant alternative to the Meuse.
