Valenciennes Station

Highlight • Settlement

The Gare de Valenciennes is an impressive building with a rich history. The station was originally opened on 14 November 1842 and has been a major rail hub in the region ever since. The current building was built in 1909 by the Compagnie des Chemins de Fer du Nord. It is designed in a neoclassical style and consists of a central monumental building with two later side wings in red brick. The building is approximately 30 metres high and has undergone several renovations since the war, including a major renovation in 2013. The station is a symbol of the industrial history and development of public transport in Valenciennes.

Le prince impérial et son chien Nero

Highlight • Other

The artwork "The Imperial Prince and his dog Nero" is a beautiful sculpture by the French artist Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux. It was made in marble in 1865 and shows the French prince Louis Napoléon, the only son of Emperor Napoleon III and Empress Eugénie de Montijo, together with the emperor's dog, Neron. The sculpture can be seen in several museums, including the Musée d'Orsay in Paris and the Palais des Beaux-Arts in Lille. The statue is a beautiful example of Carpeaux's ability to capture the grace and spontaneity of the moment.
