Magnificent walk along the water, then visit the underground canal along the canal in a path between the trees with holes, bumps and bends (a real treat) to finish with a nice route in the Holnon woods. I recommend it. To do either as a walk or at speed, the choice is yours!

French politician, MP and then resistance fighter, born on November 6, 1890 in Bapaume, he became mayor of the town in 1929. In 1934, he was elected general councilor of Pas-de-Calais. In 1936, he ran in the legislative elections and was elected in the second round. He was arrested in 1943 by the Nazis as he left the prefecture, and deported to the Gross-Rosen camp where he died on November 27, 1944. Since 1948, a monument showing him at the time of his arrest honors his memory. At the Town Hall there is an urn with soil from Gross-Rosen as well as a painting of him.

Saint-Pierre Church, rebuilt from 1928 to 1932 by the architect Louis Faille, originally from Nurlu. The Stations of the Cross, the mosaic of the high altar and the stained glass windows (twenty-one windows) are the work of Gérard Ansart. The stained glass windows were made by the Cagnart workshop in 1932. The church has organs that have been highlighted by the Association of Friends of the Organs of Péronne, Moislains and Epehy (ADOPME) since 2008.
