374 steps

""Montagne de Bueren" een kaarsrechte trap van 374 treden die vanuit het centrum naar de Citadel leidt, Luik, België 1914.  (Click for bigger)

From the Memory of the Netherlands website, which apparently has 509,000 objects from 85 institutions.  I haven't had time to search it, but I suspect it would be a rich source of interesting material.

Via First Time User.

Addendum: twellve found a recent photo of the same stairs:

    Liège is actually situated in the French-speaking part of Belgium.
