Richelle

Richelle (in Walloon Ritchele ) is a section of the common Belgian of Visé located in Walloon region in the Province of Liege.

It was a commune with whole share before the fusion of the communes of 1977.

Richelle is posted in top of a cliff overhanging the Meuse several tens of meters.

The village is at an approximate altitude of 120 meters, but an any small portion of the territory of the village runs to the Meuse, at this time with 60 meters with the top of the sea level.

This place bucolic is characterized by nearly 500 dwellings gathered around the place of the village, except for those of two streets which flee on the one hand towards Dalhem and on the other hand towards Visé.

With the Middle Ages, it is in Richelle even as is exerted to it (low and average) justice, as still the two courts of justice testify some to the village.
