Send Flowers to Seraing, Belgium

Seraing lies on the Meuse just upstream from Liège and is one of the birthplaces of heavy industry on the European continent. John Cockerill set up his ironworks in the former summer palace of the prince-bishops, a building that still stands beside the river. A little further along the valley, the Val Saint-Lambert works made crystal that was exported around the world.

The town is made up of distinct parts: Seraing itself and Jemeppe-sur-Meuse down by the river, Ougrée on the slope, and Boncelles on the wooded plateau to the south, which is greener and more residential. Many families have Italian or other immigrant roots from the steel years, and ties with relatives abroad remain close.

Flowers for Seraing should be ordered before midnight local time; a florist delivers them the next day, Monday to Saturday. No deliveries take place on Sundays or public holidays. Give the district as well as the street, since similar street names exist in neighbouring communes of the Liège area.
