Impasse de la Vignette

Liège, Belgium, Belgium

---

Impasse de la Vignette is a quiet, picturesque cul‑de‑sac in the historic Hors‑Château quarter of Liège, Belgium, on the hillside under the Citadel, known for its charming small houses with fenced gardens and a bucolic atmosphere that contrasts with the bustling city below.

The street’s name recalls the vineyards that once covered this part of the hill, and together with other nearby impasses such as Impasse de l’Ange, it is regarded as a typical example of the old patrician neighbourhood’s blend of noble institutions, 17th‑ and 18th‑century houses, and intimate residential alleys.

In addition to being a real place, “Impasse de la Vignette” is also the title of a 1990 French‑Belgian‑Canadian comedy‑drama film about a woman’s life in Liège, which uses the address as a symbolic setting for the story.
