Spring (April-May) offers wildflowers and mild weather; summer (June-August) is perfect for cycling, picnics, and outdoor festivals.

Its name, meaning ‘high bell tower,’ hints at the landmark 12th-century Romanesque church that dominates the skyline. Wander along quiet lanes lined with stone farmhouses, fields of wheat and sugar beet, and pockets of woodland. The village is part of the municipality of Crisnée, offering a true taste of Wallonian country life. Cycle or drive to nearby attractions like the medieval town of Liège (just 20 km away) or the fortresses of Huy. Local producers sell cheese, beer, and cider at small farm shops. Hiking trails wind through the Hesbaye region, a patchwork of fields and orchards. Despite its tiny population, Fexhe bursts with local pride during summer festivals and Sunday markets. This is a destination for slow travel: picnic under a willow tree, chat with friendly locals in French, and sleep in a cozy gîte. The lack of crowds makes it ideal for families or couples craving peace. If you’re driving through Belgium, Fexhe-le-Haut-Clocher offers a serene glimpse into a world that time nearly forgot.",[10,13],{"key":11,"value":12},"Police","101",{"key":14,"value":15},"Ambulance","112",[17,20,23,26,29,32,35,38,41,44,47],{"key":18,"value":19},"Do I need a visa to visit?","Schengen area citizens do not need a visa.

The village has limited public transport – a few TEC buses connect to Crisnée, Liège, and Waremme, but service is infrequent, especially on weekends. Cycling is excellent: quiet country roads and dedicated bike paths link farmsteads and villages. Trains from Liège-Guillemins station (20 min drive) connect to major cities. Taxis can be pre-booked but are scarce. Walking is ideal for short trips within the village.\"",false,"\"Healthcare in Belgium is excellent.
