Armentieres is a nice place to go and visit at least once. Too bad the path along the Leie are not maintained, they are in so bad state...

Imposing monument and beautiful town hall.

The Lost Tombstone: Among the many graves in the cemetery is a special "Special Memorial" for a soldier whose grave was destroyed by artillery fire. Although his exact resting place was lost, he is still remembered here with a symbolic grave marker. It is a quiet reminder of how even the dead did not always find peace in wartime.

Armentières is located on the River Leie, close to the Belgian border. Historically, Armentières was known for its textile industry, particularly the production of linen. During World War I, Armentières was an important location due to its proximity to the front lines. The town was badly damaged during the war and was occupied by German troops from April to October 1918. It was also the site of the Battle of Armentières in October 1914. After the war, the town was rebuilt, and the red brick buildings give it a distinctive appearance. Armentières is also remembered in popular culture for the song "Mademoiselle from Armentières," which was sung by Allied soldiers during World War I.

Beautiful cycle path, be careful if you are not comfortable on your bike, as some parts contain speed bumps due to the weather.

Armentières particularly suffered during the two world wars, notably during the Battle of Armentières in 1914 and the Battle of the Lys in 1918. It was 90% destroyed during the First World War. The city was decorated with two Croix de Guerre.
