The canal leads through a tunnel and with it the cycle path.

Particularly narrow passage, but you can go through

A wonderful cooling effect in warm weather

The 17th century Saint-Rémy church is one of the fortified churches of Thiérache. The exterior has this robust appearance that is typical of fortified churches. A fortified square tower is located in the left corner of the nave. It is pierced with cannon and loopholes. The villagers could flee upstairs via a spiral staircase in case of danger. The tower is connected to a raised attic. A well and a bread oven completed the reception system. The tower was accessed via a staircase partly in the nave, partly in the partial round tower attached to it. Powerful buttresses strengthen the structure.
