Here are the elements of answer that provide us the office of the tourism
concerning the Torê.

****

 Li "Torê" (the bull in Walloon) makes part of the sculpture made of bronze titled "The tamer of bull" installed in border of the garden of the Terraces, Avenue Rogier (in front of the park of Avroy).
This one is the work of Léon CUTE (Liege 1847 - Schaerbeek 1898), first Belgian master of the sculpture animalière.
Smelter of the work: Company of Bronzes, Brussels 1881.
The "Tamer of bull" is bound informed realist of the 2nd half of the XIVe century.
This statue, inaugurated at the Terraces June 27, 1881, drags a polemic and cause the ire of the Catholic daily, the Gazette of Liege, startled by the nudity of the masculine face, notably.
The Liégeois s call it familiarly "Djôzef that held the Torê" (Joseph who holds the bull) and the students return him a comical cult.
The question traditional "Av'véyou the Torê"? (Did you see the Taurus?)
became a scream da rallying.
