view of Béthune from the Fouquereuil spoil heap

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.

Terril nice is not too fat, especially at the moment :)

The Église Saint-Vaast in Robecq is a beautiful example of Gothic architecture, characterized by its high vaults and pointed arches. The church has an impressive façade with detailed stonework and a tower that rises above the village. Inside, you will find beautiful stained glass windows that create colorful light patterns and depict biblical scenes. The vaults and buttresses are typical elements of the Gothic style, designed to support the structure while giving a sense of height and space.

The Bornes Vauthier are a series of sculptures created in the 1920s by the artist Paul Moreau-Vauthier to mark the front line of the First World War. They are located in Belgium and France and are one of the routes set up to keep the memory of the war alive. The Bornes Vauthier consist of a series of granite monoliths marking the front line as it was in July 1918, during one of the last Allied offensives. A total of 240 Bornes Vauthier are planned, from the North Sea to the Swiss border, between Nieuwpoort in Belgium and Mooslargue near Altkirch/Belfort on the Franco-Swiss border.
