The Lamotte-Brebière lock was built in 1870 to regulate the flow of water and prevent flooding of neighboring hortillonnages. The lock is located in a magnificent setting, surrounded by greenery and wildlife. You can also visit the historic lock keeper's house, transformed into a cultural café where you can eat and attend artistic events.

The Lamotte-Brebière locks are a series of locks that regulate the flow of water and allow boats to navigate the river. You can start your hike at the Maison Éclusière de Lamotte-Brebière, a former lock keeper's house transformed into a café and cultural center. You can taste local products, admire the works of art on display and take part in various activities and events. You will also be able to observe the fauna and flora that develop in this humid environment.
