Tips from the Community
The source of the Leie (French: la source de la Lys) is located in the small French village of Lisbourg, situated in the Pas-de-Calais department in the Hauts-de-France region. The river originates here at an altitude of approximately 115 meters and flows via Aire-sur-la-Lys towards Belgium, eventually flowing into the Scheldt in Ghent after approximately 202 kilometers.

The Church of the Sacred Heart is a church located at the intersection of Rue Nationale and Rue Solférino, in the Lille-Centre district of Lille. Built during the last decades of the 19th century, it contains a set of eleven stained-glass windows, listed as a historic monument since 1983. The building was constructed following a vow made by the Ladies of the Association of the Children of Mary of the Sacred Heart (in the Chapel of the Ladies of the Sacred Heart, Rue Royale) on October 7, 1870, to protect Lille from Prussian invasion. About ten years later, when the parish church was already open for worship, a second vow was made by the town's ladies concerning the construction of a chapel dedicated to the Sacred Heart (the Vow Chapel, an apsidal chapel located behind the choir) and intended to become a special place of contemplation within the church itself. The church was built by the architect Jules Batigny between 1875 and 1878 and again between 1895 and 1898. The apsidal chapels were added during the second half of the 1880s. When the church was consecrated on June 20, 1902, the bell tower was not yet completed. On this occasion, Marie-Alphonse Sonnois, Archbishop of Cambrai (at that time, Lille did not yet have its own diocese and was therefore incorporated into that of Cambrai), consecrated the city of Lille to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. On June 12, 1910, a major congress of the Guard of Honor of the Sacred Heart was held, presided over by Monsignor François-Marie-Joseph Delamaire (coadjutor bishop). The 75-meter-high bell tower was not completed until 1928 by the architect Charles Sarazin. Built of reinforced concrete, it was unable to withstand the elements and had to be completely restored from 2005 to 2008. The bell tower houses a carillon of several bells that has been silent for several years... Only seven stained-glass windows have been restored. The building is still awaiting the restoration of the other five, which are in poor condition. In April 2018, the church was closed to worship by municipal decree for six months. The reason was the presence of dry rot.
