Large cargo ships with draught

Highlight • Other

The canal must be deep here for these cargo ships to sail through it so fully loaded.
In any case, they stir up a lot of mud, because the canal behind the cargo ships is then filled with brown clouds.

Historial of the Great War – Château de Péronne

Highlight • Castle

This fascinating museum with the subject of the First World War covers longer periods. The historial indeed explains in a very interesting way the preparation of the war, the war itself and how Europe was rebuilt after this tragedy.

The museum has two parts: You enter through the Château de Peronne which dates from the 13th century, and was built during the reign of Louis-Philippe. The second structure, which is more recent, dates from 2016. It is the work of architect Henri-Edouard Ariani and is located on the edge of the Cam pond.

Tabac-Bar "Le Havanitos" / Le Café Verte - very good café

A very good tobacco bar. We've been here several times and it's always been good.
Some of the seating in the pedestrian zone is shaded.
The restrooms were clean!
