Place André Bonnaire, Landrecies

You will find the following sights around the Place André Bonnaire:
1° The current town hall only dates from 1921 due to the destruction that the city regularly endures, but its origins are much older. On the facade, inscriptions recall the decree of 27 Ventôse year III, according to which "Landrecies has deserved well from the fatherland"
2° The Ernest-Amas Museum, located in the Town Hall, was inaugurated in 2003 in honor of the Landrecies-born painter Ernest Amas. A large number of his paintings are collected and exhibited there.
3° The Dupleix Museum: This room, on the floor of the Town Hall, brings together the Indian furniture that belonged to Joseph François Dupleix, Governor of the French East Indies from 1742 to 1754, a key figure in the history of France and a great figure linked to that of Landrecies. The quality and beauty of the furniture will take you to unknown horizons...
