  • DHnet published part three of its six-part summer guide for Charleroi on 15 July 2026, focused on activities for children and families.
  • The instalment covers the Charleroi Métropole area, the intercommunal grouping around Belgium's largest Walloon city.
  • An earlier instalment on 13 July 2026 offered three "fraîcheur" outings for heatwave days.
  • The series is numbered one through six and continues across the summer season.

"Les bons plans de l'été à Charleroi" is a serialised summer features package produced by the Charleroi regional desk of La Dernière Heure (DHnet), part of the IPM Group. Charleroi Métropole is the intercommunal development body covering Charleroi — the largest city in Wallonia — and its surrounding municipalities in the province of Hainaut. The third instalment collects suggested activities aimed at children and families; a first instalment covered heat-relief outings.

Background

Charleroi, long defined by its coal and steel heritage, has spent the past decade pursuing an image shift toward culture, urban regeneration and family amenity, promoted in part through the Charleroi Métropole brand. Seasonal press guides highlighting green space and children's activities fit that repositioning.
