If you ever find yourself in or near Liège, Belgium on a Sunday, "La Batte," an outdoor market that stretches along side the Meuse River, will keep you entertained for hours. Open from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., one can buy clothing, jewelry, shoes, lingerie, toys, candies, fresh fruits and vegetables, cheese, meat, fish, bread, ethnic foods, flowers, live animals, and more while getting a bit of exercise ("La Batte" is almost two miles long!). The sausage and onion sandwiches are delicious, but watch out for the seagulls! After living a block away from "La Batte" for five months, I still see something new each time I visit. Unlike Brussels and Bruges, not many people speak English in Liège, so a basic knowledge of French is advised.
