Jambes (pronounced as /fr/; Walloon: Djambe) 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]
Jambes is known for the former Géronsart Abbey, the 13th century Enhaive or Anhaive keep (French: donjon d'Enhaive or Anhaive), the old bridge on the river Meuse and the seat of the Government of Wallonia (Élysette).
Jambes has two train stations: Jambes on the line 154 (Namur-Dinant) and Jambes-East on the line 161 (Namur-Luxembourg).
