Tips
The church, dedicated to Saint Géry, was built in the first half of the 13th century. It can boast of being – today – the oldest church in Valenciennes, built at the request of the Franciscans. This building was chosen by the elder branch of the Counts of Hainaut to be buried there, while the younger branch was buried in the Dominican church. The belfry was added in 1851. Bombed in 1944, it was rebuilt and returned to worship in 1965.
