The Grand'Place de Béthune is the focal point of the city of Buridan. Destroyed in 1918, it was rebuilt and stands as an architectural example. A group of architects led by L.M. Cordonnier gave it its present-day appearance: eclecticism, Art Deco, and neo-regionalism combine to create a diverse ensemble. Town Hall Rebuilt many times, the current Town Hall was designed by architect J. Alleman. Built between 1924 and 1929, the building stands out from the other buildings with its massive form. Its façade embodies the city's titles and glories: the Croix de Guerre and the Legion of Honor, as well as the city's coat of arms. The Town Hall has been listed as a Historic Monument since April 2002. Some of the square's façades, representative of the Art Deco style, are also listed as Historic Monuments. The Cellars of the Grand'Place Vast cellars, boves, and countermine galleries: the underground of Béthune bears witness to the city's intense activity. During the First World War, the cellars served as refuges for the inhabitants of Béthune. Some cellars of private homes are now open to the public.

The Saint-Vaast Church boasts a 68-meter-high tower with three pointed arches at the entrance and a red brick structure with stone elements. The original church, dating from 1547, was destroyed during the First World War and rebuilt between 1924 and 1927 under the direction of architect Louis Marie Cordonnier. The stained-glass windows, created by master glazier Charles Champigneulle, depict the history of Béthune and the life of Saint-Vaast. The church houses four bells cast in 1927 by Charles Wauthy, each with specific dimensions and individual names. The building combines French Gothic architecture with regional Flemish influences, resulting in a neo-Flemish style characteristic of the post-war reconstruction.

Magnificent brick architecture

Don't miss the Loos-en-Gohelle slag heap, an astonishing and unusual spectacle. There are five hills made of coal waste, and this one is the highest, reaching 146 meters, the highest in Europe! Hike to the top and admire the views. You can see how nature has transformed the hills with plants, animals and even grapes. Take the opportunity to learn about this UNESCO World Heritage site and discover its rich history and culture at Base 11/19.

This park commemorates the Battle of Hill 70, a strategic victory for the Canadian Army in August 1917. The park features an obelisk that symbolizes the courage and sacrifice of Canadians, as well as walkways, sculptures and interpretive panels which tell the story of the battle. You can also admire the view of the city of Lens, which was occupied by the Germans at the time.

These hills, which were named after their height, are known along the entire front. Hill 70 is a Canadian memorial to the troops who fought here at the time. Access via a level driveway, winding like a snail shell up to the stele at the top. The originally well-designed information boards at the foot of the hill are unfortunately currently damaged by vandalism.
