    Tips

    "The most Flemish town in France" is how J. Desitter, a great lover of Flanders, defined Bollezeele.

    The weekly market and the novena once enlivened this town. From all the surrounding villages, the farmers' wives brought in crowds eggs, butter and famous and sought-after poultry. As for the novena, thousands of people came to venerate Our Lady of Bollezeele there since the 15th century.

    From this prosperous period, the center of the village has preserved a vast square lined with solid two-storey houses and a church enlarged over the centuries to accommodate the ever-increasing number of pilgrims. Numerous and generous, the faithful endowed their sanctuary with magnificent furniture: altarpieces, organs, woodwork, which should not be missed.
    More recent, the Town Hall (1933), although of modest dimensions, is one of the most beautiful in Flanders. Of the purest regional style, it is one of the witnesses of this will of the architects of the reconstruction (after the 1st World War) to preserve the identity of the provinces.
