Domaine d'Haugimont

Located in the heart of the Condruzian countryside, the Domaine d'Haugimont lies in the commune of Gesves, 18 km southeast of Namur. Since 1978, it has been an exceptional teaching and research facility for students and scientists from the University of Namur.

Smoking is prohibited in all public buildings in Belgium, including inside university buildings, student accommodation, bars and restaurants (there may be separate smoking areas under certain conditions), as well as in shopping centers, public transport and cabs.

In short, smoking is only possible outdoors. Smoking in a public place that is not outdoors is a criminal offence subject to penalties. UNamur is working to enforce this law.
