Marche-les-Dames (French pronunciation: [maʁʃ le dam]; Walloon: Måtche-les-Dames) is a sub-municipality of the city of Namur located in the province of Namur, Wallonia, Belgium. It was a separate municipality until 1977. On 1 January 1977, it was merged into Namur.[1]
It is located downstream of the Sambre confluence, on the left bank of the Meuse river. Because of the high cliffs this place is popular with rock climbers.[citation needed]
