The Poppy Country identity and heritage are closely linked to its history, wars and industries.
After 4 years of Great War nightmares, make way for the Roaring Twenties with the development of a new art of living and the Art Deco reconstruction, testimony to the resilience and modernity of the inhabitants. Immerse yourself in this period where everything is permitted and appreciate the harmonious mix of concrete, red bricks, bow-windows, floral pattern and wrought iron of our buildings.
Watching over the territory, the Notre-Dame de Brebières Basilica is one of the jewels of the Poppy Country which have an exceptional civil and religious heritage.
While your stay, admire the charm of our small villages where each castle, church and chapel has its own particularity.
Also enjoy our culture, our traditions as well as the rich industrial heritage bequeathed by brilliant inventors : Henry Potez for aeronautics, Henon caravans, Rochet cycles...
