The economic capital of Wallonia, the “cité ardente,” is a French-speaking city located in eastern Belgium. Liège has 200,000 inhabitants, making it the third-largest city in Belgium after Brussels and Antwerp. Its nickname comes from its dynamism and the festive atmosphere that reigns in its neighborhoods, thanks to its many bars and restaurants. Tourists are drawn to its impressive monuments like the Palace of the Prince-Bishops and the Royal Opera of Wallonia, as well as its many churches, hence its nickname "the city of a hundred spires." The city has many green spaces that promote pet-sitting services or fitness sports, such as cycling along the Meuse.
The Liège metropolitan area has about 500,000 inhabitants, ranking it as the fourth most populous municipality in Belgium. The student population, very significant, accounts for 95,000 inhabitants, spread between a public university and several colleges. Students are more interested in carpooling, sports courses, and other sports activities as well as home courses that allow them to improve their income.
