Eighty years ago, the whole of Belgium celebrated its liberation after four years of war and deprivation. Namur, badly scarred by the recent bombing in August 1944, did not give up on these celebrations. However, cohabitation with the Allied troops had to be organized, the return of prisoners was marked by the absence of many of them, the hardships of rationing were still very much a reality, the trials of collaborators marked the daily life of the people of Namur, and the reconstruction of the city kept the municipal authorities busy for a long time. 
This contribution examines various themes of the "post-liberation" period that have been addressed thanks to the contribution of previously unpublished archives, notably those of the US Army, which have now been declassified.
