The Saint-Denis Church in Toufflers was built in the last century, but the history of the parish and its church goes back much further. The first mentions of a church dedicated to Saint-Denis and Saint-Guislain date back to the late 17th century. This first church was sold as state property in 1799, after the French Revolution. Around 1845, a document describes the church as 15 meters long and 15 meters wide. Discussions for the church's renovation began in 1859. Actual work began in October 1863 and was completed in September 1867. The high altar was installed in 1873 and the side altars in 1876. Over the past century, numerous repairs have been carried out to maintain the building. The church houses the tombs of several Lannoy Counts under the choir. Source: toufflers.fr

The town hall of Saillez-lez-Lannoy once housed the girls' school. The first girls' school was founded in 1854 by the Sisters of the Childhood of Jesus. Until 1886, the school functioned very well and gained a certain reputation, but the academic inspectorate became increasingly strict regarding the secular nature of schools... which forced the municipal authorities to secularize this school in 1903. The school was located in part of the current town hall, with two classrooms: one for younger children and one for older children. Children began school at the age of five and often left at fourteen to go to work. In the older classroom, the students were divided into four groups, each under the responsibility of a single teacher. The headmistress lived in the house next to the school, which now houses the mayor's office. The schoolyard was fenced and shaded by lime trees. Source: musee-virtuel-de-sailly.fr/lecole-des-filles

Between the municipality of Hem and Lac du Héron, La Petite Marque flows into the Marque. The low-lying meadows (soaks) around this confluence are not accessible, but a footpath runs along both the banks of La Petite Marque and on the eastern side, offering views over the soaks. On the eastern side, the footpath is just off the rather busy Avenue Henri Delecroix, but you barely notice it.

A memorial stone designed by Anatole Guenez in 2007 bears the famous quote from Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's Le Petit Prince: "Il profita, pour son évasion, d'une migration d'oiseaux sauvages"

Birdwatching wall, facing a spur of Lac du Héron, away from the crowds of hikers. The bird species list that can be spotted here includes various ducks, geese, herons, and the colorful kingfisher.

This is not a bunker, historians emphasize, but a casemate: the structure was, after all, built by the French. The pediment bears the date 1937. The main entrance is covered by an earthen rampart, where vegetation has erased all trace of the war's past. At the time, this opening offered a fantastic firing position towards the Marque River.

The Parc du Héron covers 110 hectares, a significant portion of which is covered by water: the Lac du Héron and the Marque River. Approximately 70% of the area is designated as a nature reserve.

Nice, but quite crowded.
