Places to see in ( Valenciennes - France )
Places to see in ( Valenciennes - France )
Nicknamed Athens of the Nord, the town of Valenciennes saw the birth of a number of famous artists, such as Antoine Watteau, Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux and Henri Harpignies. Numerous works of the painters and sculptors of Valenciennes can be admired at the Fine art museum. Just shy of the Belgian border in the Nord department, Valenciennes is a city noted for culture and creativity, which gave it the nickname, “Athens of the North”. For hundreds of years this relatively small place churned out painters, sculptors and architects who helped shape French culture forever.
You can sample the works of figures like Carpeaux and Watteau at Valenciennes’ fine arts museum, and view invaluable early French manuscripts by appointment at the Bibliothèque Municipale. Valenciennes stood in the path of two World Wars, but restored its monuments and has just revamped its centre with a trendy shopping mall.
In a city that has long prided itself on its culture Valenciennes’ fine arts museum is a treat. It opened in 1801, presenting the works of the Academy of Painting and Sculpture and today is loaded with works by French, Flemish and Dutch masters. One that everybody will know is Peter Paul Rubens, and he’s accompanied by a host of familiar names like Bosch, van Dyck, Jacob Jordaens, Sébastien Bourdon and Camille Pissarro.
Valenciennes, like a lot of the eastern Nord region, lies above rich coal seams which were first exploited in the 18th century. The industry was waning by the 20th century and almost all sign of it is gone today. But if you’re interested in this chapter of the town’s past there are dozens of sites to visit with hints about what went on here across two centuries. The best of these is Fosse Dutemple, a UNESCO site for its colossal reinforced concrete headframe, which was placed above the shaft just after the First World War.
By the Church of Saint-Géry on the Rue de Paris is a refined little garden around a fountain with a dignified statue of Antoine Watteau. Here he is shown with paint brush and palette in hand on a decorative plinth with muses and scrolls. The statue is from the 19th century and was crafted by Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux, another of Valenciennes’ notable artists. Carpeaux shot to prominence in the 1850s when he received a series of commissions from Napoleon III. Here you’re also just a couple of steps from Watteau’s birthplace, at 39 Rue de Paris.
In the very centre of Valenciennes, Place d’Armes is a grand square and the bedrock of political and commercial life in the city. The striking town hall will hold your attention right away. That ornate facade was fashioned in 1867 by Henri Lemaire, another son of Valenciennes who made waves in the art world. Among other things he crafted the facade of the Gare du Nord in Paris. Scraping the sky in the north end is Litanie, a 45-metre metallic needle on the site of Valenciennes’ belfry, which collapsed in 1840. Up close you’ll notice countless sentences cut from the metal; these were written by Valenciennes’ citizens and are accompanied by recordings of their voices from a speaker.
For a time between the 16th and 17th centuries Valenciennes was under the yoke of the Spanish Netherlands. It was during this period that the handsome timber-framed Maison Espagnole was built. The building with its graceful corbels and leaded windows, had been on the corner of Rue de Mons and Rue des Capucins, but was carefully dismantled and rebuilt here on Rue Askièvre in 1964 when the city’s streets were being redirected.
Recently Valenciennes has done a lot to spruce up the city centre, echoing similar projects at the heart of other French cities over the last decade or so. The biggest job was the Centre Place d’Armes, a stylish shopping centre with all the classic high street stores like H&M, Zara, Sephora and fnac. The mall is right on Valenciennes’ main square, so if it’s a rainy day or you fancy an afternoon of shopping you could easily while a way a few hours in here.
( Valenciennes - France ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting Valenciennes . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Valenciennes - France

Bruxelles. Visit oct 2010 part 1
ready for action-just in case
sablon anticking-waffles tasting, shrimp cocktail to go, champagne every where, beer, great speciality shops, bar hoping-just lost of fun things to do in Bruxelles...try it! chocolate too of course....Godiva, leonidas...newhaus-corné-
dont go to au bon pain in le sablon, service is crap, they serve me raw eggs, told the manager he didn t care made me pay anyway i had to return that breakfast but one bite was too much i was sick like a dog. Plus they only serve russian coffee, they don t know what is a bowl of café latté, the service is so long you can actual die of waiting there, so so so bad they started a great branch the other one in Bru in st-gery is way better but the one in London England in Marylebone is my favorite it s awsome sooososso good what a shame au bon pain is Belge! the bread si so good there, all their marvellous spread...but raw eggs made me sick for weeks... but I still love Belgium
i love all of the other places...and have fun they're plenty of other breakfast place in le sablon and so many nice boutiques too.
Marcollini the best chocolatier hum not for me! try it for the sake of trying it but for me the bite is too small too too too small you loose the taste. We were a group of chocolate taster amateur and marcollini is at the buttom of our list. you bite and the bite is so tiny you loose it all...so dissapointed to have lost so much money for so little of this famous chocolate...the chocolate it self is quite good but too small again and the filling the same thing..dont waste your money on this but you have to go and try it and the boutique is so cold, so out of style, there is no passion in the decor and no passion in the chocolate too but I love the other ones and my cookies from delacre. And beware of the flower man on the grand place he sold me bags of bulbs supposely good for canada and they weren't he is a liar. I don't like liar he should be trusty especially on the grand place in front of the city hall what a bunch of liars...I spend 21 euros for those bulbs luckily i declare them in Canada...what a shame this is not how to make business gardener lovers, i don t think so. Yes when you go to les Marolles and bargain it is part of the deal to get cross or not but it is not part of the deal on the grand place in front of the city hall where justice is supposed to start. But go to Bruxelles it s great fun trust me !
Go and dine like the rich Belge in elgaqueen my favorite and go to arcadi for nice little meal with the Belgium.
My favorite for dessert is at leonidas near the grand place they serve hot chocolate sauce over a shish kebab of fresh strawberries not to miss really and while you are there get some chocolate my favorite alexandre le grand square with caramel the LOuise and the Manon in all the 3 different kind of chocolate. ENjoy the Belgium are really nice and the pubs all different a great institution is LA mort subite. But go to St Gery street, music street ...

30 minutes | The Brussels Grand Place, Belgium
The Grand Place or Grote Markt (Dutch) is the central square of Brussels. It is surrounded by opulent guildhalls and two larger edifices, the city's Town Hall, and the Breadhouse building containing the Museum of the City of Brussels. The square is the most important tourist destination and most memorable landmark in Brussels. It measures 68 by 110 metres (223 by 361 ft), and it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
In the 10th century, Charles, Duke of Lower Lorraine constructed a fort on Saint-Géry Island, the furthest inland point at which the Senne river was still navigable. This was the seed of what would become Brussels. By the end of the 11th century, an open-air marketplace was set up on a dried-up marsh near the fort that was surrounded by sandbanks. The market was called the Nedermerckt, or Lower Market.
At the beginning of the 13th century, three indoor markets were built on the northern edge of the Grand Place; a meat market, a bread market and a cloth market. These buildings, which belonged to the Duke of Brabant, allowed the wares to be showcased even in bad weather, but also allowed the Dukes to keep track of the storage and sale of goods, in order to collect taxes. Other buildings, made of wood or stone, enclosed the Grand Place.
Improvements to the Grand Place from the 14th century onwards would mark the rise in importance of local merchants and tradesmen relative to the nobility. Short on money, the Duke transferred control of mills and commerce to the local authorities. The city of Brussels, as with the neighbouring cities of Mechelen and Leuven constructed a large indoor cloth market to the south of the square. At this point, the square was still haphazardly laid out, and the buildings along the edges had a motley tangle of gardens and irregular additions. The city expropriated and demolished a number of buildings that clogged the Grand Place, and formally defined the edges of the square.
The Brussels City Hall was built on the south side of the square in stages between 1401 and 1455, and made the Grand Place the seat of municipal power. It towers 96 metres (315 ft) high, and is capped by a 4-metre (12 ft) statue of Saint Michael slaying a demon or devil. To counter this symbol of municipal power, from 1504 to 1536 the Duke of Brabant built a large building across from the city hall as symbol of ducal power. It was built on the site of the first cloth and bread markets, which were no longer in use, and it became known as the King's House (Middle Dutch: 's Conincxhuys), although no king has ever lived there. It is currently known as the Maison du roi (King's House) in French, though in Dutch it continues to be called the Broodhuis (Breadhouse), after the market whose place it took. Wealthy merchants and the increasingly powerful guilds of Brussels built houses around the edge of the square.
On August 13, 1695, a 70,000-strong French army under Marshal François de Neufville, duc de Villeroy, began a bombardment of Brussels in an effort to draw the League of Augsburg's forces away from their siege on French-held Namur in what is now southern Belgium. The French launched a massive bombardment of the mostly defenseless city centre with cannons and mortars, setting it on fire and flattening the majority of the Grand Place and the surrounding city. Only the stone shell of the town hall and a few fragments of other buildings remained standing. That the town hall survived at all is ironic, as it was the principal target of the artillery fire.
The square was rebuilt in the following four years by the city's guilds. Their efforts were regulated by the city councillors and the Governor of Brussels, who required that their plans be submitted to the authorities for their approval. This helped to deliver a remarkably harmonious layout for the rebuilt Grand Place, despite the ostensibly clashing combination of Gothic, Baroque and Louis XIV styles.
The Grand Place continued to serve as a market until November 19, 1959, and it is still called the Great Market or Grote Markt in Dutch. Neighbouring streets still reflect the area's origins, named after the sellers of butter, cheese, herring, coal and so on. The Grand Place was named by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 1998. One of the houses was owned by the brewers' guild, and is now the home of a brewers' museum.
The Grand Place was voted the most beautiful square in Europe in 2010. A survey by a Dutch website asked its users to rate different squares across Europe. Moscow’s Red Square and the Place Stanislas in Nancy, France, took second and third place.
