History
editBuilt in 1877 by master-tanner Xavier Thibault, it was bought by the Walloon Region to the city of Namur.
This building, hosting the office of the Minister-President, as well as his official residence, is on the right shore of the Meuse river, in Jambes, the administrative borough of Namur, capital of Wallonia. For the Minister-President's good services, you can find there kitchens, two bedrooms for the servants, garages, offices and meeting rooms (especially the Council of Ministers' Room).
A flat, consisting of a bedroom, a dining room, a bathroom and a living room is next to the Minister-President's Office.
The Élysette faces the Parliament of Wallonia. This one is on the left shore of the river, next to the Grognon (confluence between Meuse and Sambre rivers).
