Nice place to stop and have a drink. Or even eat, but it's a bit pricey.

The ramparts, built in the Spanish period, were modified by the famous Vauban himself. We can still admire the towers surrounding the city since the seventeenth century, as well as many other monuments: the tower of the Edifieur Baudoin, one of the oldest of all, Caesar Bastion built under Louis XIV the Green stronghold and the headquarters hospital, or the Fauroeulx door, the only one that did not suffer the Second World War and its demolition. The current castle, the Cernay, was built in the seventeenth century, replacing the twelfth century built by Baldwin IV of Hainaut. You can still see some remains of the original castle that served as a residence to Charles the Bold, as a gateway and a set of Romanesque cellars.

The Chapelle de l'Hôpital in Le Quesnoy is a beautiful example of neo-Gothic architecture. The chapel was built in 1854 based on plans by the architect Casimir Pétiaux. It was originally intended as an oratory for the sick, children from the orphanage and the religious who cared for the sick. The chapel is surrounded by a serene environment and is located on the Rue Jean Jaurès. The interior of the chapel is decorated with beautiful stained glass windows that shed light into the space.

The Porte Faurœulx is part of the fortified city walls built between the 15th and 17th centuries. These walls were built to protect the city from attacks and sieges. The gate itself dates from this period and is a remnant of the military architecture of the time. The gate is designed in a Renaissance style with strongly fortified walls and gateways strategically placed to protect the city. It has a circular plan and is built of brick and stone, which is typical of the military architecture of the period.

It goes up or down. It's never flat. It's Avesnois ;-)
