Description

Welcome to the Landrecies boating stop: two equipped and secure pontoons welcome you for mooring with water supply and electrical hookup. Located a stone's throw from the public garden, the stop offers restrooms, pétanque courts, a children's playground and an on-site dining area. Water activities are offered from the quays and fishing is possible there, in compliance with local regulations. Want to explore? Rent a bike in town to ride out to the Mormal Forest, the cycle routes leading to Maroilles or the hamlet of Hachette, and discover the narrow streets with the feel of an old fortified town where some barracks remain, as well as museums, shops and traditional crafts nestled in a rural bocage.

Tourisme

Landrecies (Nord, France)

Landrecies is a small fortified town in the Nord department, at the gates of the Thiérache. The town retains clear traces of its military past in its remparts and its urban layout. Its centre gathers old streets lined with brick houses and some notable religious buildings. The canal and the surrounding countryside offer a bucolic contrast to the military remains.

Heritage and history

The silhouette of Landrecies recalls its strategic role: remparts and old gates bear witness to military episodes, notably during the First World War. The urban fabric preserves old buildings and brick façades that tell the town’s evolution between the Middle Ages and the modern era. One senses a mix of military history and a peaceful civilian life.

Architecture and places of worship

The église Saint-Géry (present in town) and the brick houses form the architectural core. The façades are sober, often punctuated with stone elements and roofs typical of the Nord. The squares and some townhouses provide pleasant stopping points to observe the local architecture.

Nature and walks

The canal de la Sambre à l’Oise crosses the commune and offers banks suitable for walking, cycling and family outings. The surrounding landscapes alternate between meadows and hedgerow fields, ideal for hiking or following quiet cycle routes.

Atmosphere and gastronomy

The town offers a calm atmosphere of a small sub-prefecture, with local cafés and bistros where you can find regional products from the Nord (charcuterie, cheeses, craft beers). Markets and local shops enliven the local life, especially at the weekend.
