Jupille-sur-Meuse

Jupille (fully Jupille-sur-Meuse) is a former Belgian municipality. It is now a part of the city of Liège.

Jupille is the location of the brewery Piedbœuf (InBev group), where Jupiler is made. It is also the death place of Pepin of Herstal. It has also been proposed as the birthplace of Pepin the Short, king of Franks (751-768) and perhaps even of his son Charlemagne, Emperor and king of the Franks, but there is no sure proof for these suppositions.
