Tips
The 13th century altar with its marble retable in the Eglise St-Jean-Baptiste (1927) comes from the old chapel of the Petite Place, destroyed in 1792. the "Descent from the Cross of Rubens" was in the cathedral before the First World War. Every year the heroic deeds of Wacquez and Glasson, two firefighters who died trying to put out the fire that destroyed the church in 1915, are commemorated here.
