This bridge over the Deûle River, which connects Saint-André with Marquette, is officially called the Pont de l'Abbaye. It underwent a major renovation in the summer of 2023: the road surface and sidewalks were replaced, and the bridge arches were repainted.

The city of La Madeleine, part of the Lille metropolitan area, has issued several street art commissions in recent years. Several of these were created along the banks of the Deûle River. These, located on steps connecting the quay and the city, date from 2022 and are the work of Iksté, aka York. xavink.jimdofree.com

The Deûle and its tributary, the Marque, have divided Marquette-lez-Lille into several neighborhoods: the Abbey, the Town Center, and Lommelet. The Mabile Bridge therefore plays a key role in connecting these neighborhoods. Before the construction of a fixed bridge, a path wound through Mr. Vannière-Smet's estate, leading to a swing bridge consisting of a rotating, movable plank. The word "mobile" was corrupted to "mabile," hence the name Mabile Bridge. The first fixed bridge at this location dates back to 1887. This bridge was destroyed during the First World War and rebuilt a few years later. In 1940, the bridge was dynamited, rebuilt, and inaugurated on July 14, 1949. www.marquettelezlille.fr

Here you have a beautiful view of Robersart Castle, located on the other side of the Deûle Canal. The building, constructed of red brick and white Lezennes stone, dates from 1760. It was home to the Lords of Wambrechies, including the Robert de Robersart family, who gave it their name. The last resident was Juliette, Countess of Robersart, who died in 1900. The building later housed a brewery, a laundry, and a school. Now it is a municipal building. Behind it lies a 7-hectare park with an arboretum featuring 270 hardy varieties and 75 rose varieties. The so-called "Counts' Garden" has 300 varieties of ornamental plants. Source: nl.lilletourism.com

If you are patient, you might see the Countess...

A beautiful walk, personally, I like it with mist on the water and the sun showing its face

It's a beautiful place, its fame brings people in, sometimes too much for my taste, but let's take advantage of a site not far from the Belgian border, which is active and which attracts people.

Enjoy the tour, whether you drink or not, you learn things...
