Gate to Cambrai

Highlight • Other

The Porte de Paris in Cambrai is an impressive remnant of the old city defences. Originally built to protect the southern entrance to the city, this gate dates from the end of the 14th century. The architecture of the gate is typical of the style of the time, with sturdy stone structures designed to withstand attacks.
The Porte de Paris is part of what was once a four-kilometre-long city wall, reinforced by around fifty towers and seven gates. This gate is one of the few remaining parts of these defences and offers a fascinating insight into medieval military architecture.

The Round Basin

Highlight • Lake

Le Bassin Rond is a former water garage in Bouchain, France. It was constructed to enable the connection between the Canal de l'Escaut and the Sensée1. It is a popular destination for walkers and cyclists, with a 5-kilometre trail along the banks that invites you to go back in time2. There is also a sailing school called Center Départemental De Plein Air Du Bassin Rond CDPA where you can learn to sail and practice other water sports
