トゥルネーのおすすめライド

教会はグロート・マルクトの終わりに位置し、間違いなくグロート・マルクトとその隣接地区に広がっていた大きなガロ・ローマ時代のネクロポリスに起源を持っています。 身廊は12世紀末のものです。身廊と翼廊が形成する角には、ジャック・カステーニュ（1327年）の墓を収めるものを含む2つの円形礼拝堂が配置されています。翼廊と聖歌隊席は、リブ付きヴォールトとともに、ロマネスク様式とゴシック様式の移行期に属します。中央の塔も13世紀のものです。内部は二重のトリフォリウムで装飾されています。17世紀の大理石の囲いに囲まれた聖歌隊席は、1464年にアンビュラトリーといくつかの礼拝堂に囲まれました。 身廊の両端には、いわゆる受胎告知群を形成する2つの彫像、すなわち聖母マリアと大天使ガブリエルを鑑賞できます。これらの彫像は、トゥルネーの彫刻家ジャン・ドゥレメールによって制作されました。アヴネー産の白い石でできており、オリジナルの彩色装飾はロベール・カンパンによるものとされています。 36音栓のオルガンは、1986年にジョルジュ・デルモットによって制作されました。 出典: openchurches.eu

Between 1857 and 1860, the old Bossuit-Kortrijk canal was dug using spades and wheelbarrows, as well as horse and cart. After the construction of the new canal in the early 1970s, this old section of the canal remained in place. As a result, an ideal spawning ground was created here. Fish find few suitable opportunities to spawn and lay their eggs. They do this on aquatic and riparian plants, which are present in limited numbers in the canal. Species such as rudd and pike require plants to complete their reproduction. The creation of fish spawning grounds gives the fish population a "natural" boost. However, it is not only fish that benefit from this nature development zone. Dragonflies, amphibians, waterfowl, and breeding birds also find an ideal habitat there.

The Kortrijk-Bossuit Canal was built between 1858 and 1860 to connect the Leie and Scheldt rivers, primarily to transport coal from the Borinage to Flanders.

The velodrome is officially called "Vélodrome André Pétrieux". The velodrome is named after a sports official working for the city of Roubaix. His father ran a café on the corner of Jules-Guesde Street and Lannoy Street, Chez Pétrieux. He was one of the founders in 1966 of the Vélo-Club Roubaisien, later the Vélo-Club de Roubaix Lille Métropole, an association with a development program for young cyclists, and since 2007 also a professional cycling team, Roubaix Lille Métropole. The velodrome has honored both cycling enthusiasts with his name since the spring of 2000 and before the start of Paris-Roubaix 2000. Source: Wikipedia

This velodrome isn't the first in Roubaix. In 1895, a Roubaix velodrome was built in the municipality of Croix. The track was built at the initiative of Théo Vienne and Maurice Pérez. This velodrome already served as the finish line for Paris-Roubaix, specifically for the first 19 editions until 1914, as Vienne was one of the race's initiators and organizers. The track's wood didn't survive the raids for firewood during the First World War. The entire circuit was demolished in 1924. ...so, in 1936, the current track was built in the Parc des Sports in the eastern part of Roubaix. It's a concrete velodrome with a length of 499.75 meters. Starting with the 1943 edition, the tradition that had prevailed until 1914 was revived, and Paris-Roubaix once again finished at a velodrome. Only from 1986 to 1988 were there any editions where the classic didn't reach its finale here. The velodrome also hosted the French National Track Cycling Championships in 1966 and 1971. Between 2006 and 2012, it also hosted an annual cyclocross race, the Grand Prix Lille Métropole, which was a stage of the Cyclocross World Cup in the 2008-2009, 2009-2010, and 2012-2013 seasons. In addition to the outdoor track, the indoor track, Vélodrome Jean Stablinski, opened in 2012. Source: Wikipedia

This original, enormous artwork consists of a table and 10 robinia wood chairs. These pieces of furniture enhance the illusion of oversized space and transport the viewer back to childhood. It's one of the artistic works you can discover along the Arty trail, which runs between Roubaix (FR) and Tournai (BE) along the Roubaix and Scheldt Canal (www.parcoursarty.com).
