Description

Moored on the banks of the Sambre at Jeumont, this leisure boat area welcomes you warmly with electrical hookup and water supply, ideal for a restful stopover between France and Belgium. The developed banks offer a natural passage between the Avesnois and Wallonia, and the Gare numérique, located in the heart of the town, enlivens local cultural life throughout the year under the impetus of the Communauté d’agglomération Maubeuge Val-de-Sambre.

Tourisme

Jeumont (Nord, France)

Jeumont is a commune in the north of the Nord department, located on the Belgian border. Situated on the Sambre, it occupies a cross-border position that has shaped its industrial history and daily relations with neighboring Belgium. A small working-class town, Jeumont retains visible traces of its metallurgical past while offering green spaces along the watercourse. There is a mix of local identity and cross-border exchanges.

Heritage and history

Jeumont developed around industry, with sites linked to metallurgy and electrical engineering that marked the 20th century. The name Jeumont-Schneider evokes this industrial memory and its social repercussions. The urban fabric bears the marks of that era: workers' neighborhoods, redevelopable brownfields and repurposed factory buildings.

Nature and landscapes

The Sambre gives Jeumont banks developed for walks and riverside promenades. The riverside areas offer calm perspectives for walking and cycling, with views of the Belgian bank opposite. The light and the quays recall the importance of the watercourse for the town.

Outdoor activities and cross-border crossings

The immediate proximity of Belgium makes cross-border walks easy on foot or by bike, notably to Erquelinnes just on the other side. Cycling routes linking Jeumont to Maubeuge and neighboring communes allow exploring the region at a slow pace.

Atmosphere and local life

The town retains a pragmatic and friendly atmosphere, focused on the daily life of local shops and associations. Markets and small cafés remain places of exchange where Franco-Belgian influences are felt.

Not to be missed

  • La Sambre: banks and riverside promenades at the heart of the town.
  • Border with Erquelinnes (Belgium): easy to access, for a short cross-border crossing.
  • Former Jeumont-Schneider facilities: visible traces of the commune's industrial past.
  • Jeumont station: rail connection point to Maubeuge and Belgium.
