Barrages d'Armentières: On the edge of Armentières lies a unique weir on the Lys, a technical junction that regulates the water level and keeps the river navigable. This weir is not only functional, but also historical: during the Battle of the Lys in April 1918, German troops tried to break through to the Channel ports via this passage. The weir and bridges were strategic targets at the time.

Be careful in freezing weather, the climb before the bridge is generally slippery and impassable.
