Promenade des Batelières
Description
Allow yourself to be seduced by the rural countryside of Labuissière on this route, which covers a little over 3,000 hectares. The drawbridge and its manual lock are sure to grab your attention. The gable of the white house at no. 2, Rue Max Buset, houses a statue of Saint Martin from 1828. The twists and turns of the Sambre river gently guide you to Fontaine Valmont and its church. Merbes-le-Château is home to large farms, which were once renowned for the quality of the workhorses bred there. The small chapel of Saint-Pierre was restored in 1842.
