Tips from the Community
Imagined in the 19th century by the industrialist Jean-Baptiste André Godin, the Familistère de Guise is a unique place in France. Conceived as a true “social palace” for the workers of his factory, this architectural complex combines housing, collective spaces, and cultural facilities. Today transformed into a museum and visitor site, the place offers an immersion into the social and industrial history of the Hauts-de-France region.

The Église Saint-Martin et Sainte Anne de Macquigny is one of the westernmost fortified churches in the region and is often considered part of the Thiérache. Built in the 12th century, it still retains elements of the original Romanesque structure, such as the south wall with two now bricked-up arcades and a simple entrance with the date "1501" indicating the fortification of the tower. The building has imposing buttresses and unique watchtowers with loopholes and machicolations. The choir was restored in 1754 and inside are 15th century baptismal fonts, a 16th century wooden statue of Christ and stained glass windows by master glassmaker Carl Mauméjean. Although the church is usually closed to the public, guided tours are organised by the municipality from April to September.

Faubourg de Guise is a district in the city of Guise, in the Aisne department. It is a historic district known for its architecture and cultural heritage. Here you have a mural of a facade with a locomotive in front of it. Both go together beautifully.
