Tour du Lait Buré
11 km

Tour du Lait Buré

La Tour du Lait Buré, située à l’orée de la Forêt domaniale de Colfontaine, est un lieu chargé d’histoire. Au début des années 1900, Achille Tillier, architecte et fondateur de la brasserie Tillier, fait l’acquisition d’une pâture à la commune d’Eugies. Il construit alors, suivant ses plans, un bâtiment baptisé La Tour du Lait Buré (selon André Capron et Pierre Nisolle, auteurs d’Essai d’illustration du parler borain, « lait buré » signifierait « lait battu »). Le propriétaire installe dans ce lieu pittoresque un cabaret, qui se transformera rapidement en guinguette dans laquelle il décide de vendre ses diverses bières (Stout Cedar, Saison, Belge, Blanche, Grisette,…). À l’origine, cette bâtisse était pourvue d’une toiture plate permettant entre autres d’observer la nature, de chasser ou d’installer des musiciens (jusqu’à l’arrivée du tourne-disque qui remplacera l’orchestre après la Première Guerre Mondiale). Ce n’est qu’en 1955, que Victor-Léon et Léon-Willy Tillier, respectivement fils et petit-fils d’Achille Tillier, font réparer et modifier la toiture par une entreprise hollandaise pour lui donner une forme conique (toiture qui sera refaite une seconde fois dans les années 85). En septembre 1972, La Tour du Lait Buré est entièrement rénovée et inaugurée en présence du Collège Communal, dont le Député Bourgmestre Arthur Nazé. Cette rénovation permit d’installer notamment un comptoir construit en fonction de la forme circulaire de la taverne et de l’accès (central) à la cave à boissons, d’ajouter une annexe baptisée « Gambrinus » pouvant accueillir une vingtaine de personnes et d’aménager une terrasse et une aire de jeux. Depuis, La Tour du Lait Buré a conservé tout son charme et s’est transformée en un lieu rustique dans lequel il fait bon se reposer après une balade au cœur de la nature.

La maison du peuple de Pâturages

La maison du peuple de Pâturages

La maison du peuple de Pâturages a été inaugurée en août 1903 dans le centre du quartier ouvrier. À travers son administrateur, Louis Pépin, la coopérative ouvrière « Union, Progrès, économie » (fondée en 1885) demande à Eugène Bodson, architecte, d’édifier une maison du peuple. Celle-ci accueillera un café et une salle des fêtes ainsi que des bureaux et des salles de réunion. Progressivement, elle se dotera également d’une mercerie, d’une épicerie, d’un magasin d’aunage et, plus tard, d’un « Grand Magasin du Peuple ». Le bâtiment, imposant, est dominé par la ligne classique. Composé d’un double corps de sept travées qui s’élève sur deux niveaux, l’édifice est couvert d’une haute toiture d’ardoises artificielles. La travée centrale est mise en évidence par son balcon ainsi que par le fronton courbe qui coiffe le pignon. La façade néoclassique est caractérisée par le jeu entre frontons triangulaires et courbes ainsi que par les cordons moulurés et le faux appareil régulier. Épinglons l’opposition entre style historiciste, utilisation de matériaux très modernes (colonnettes métalliques) et décoration Art nouveau (ornements en coup de fouet). Les mots « Progrès » et « Union » apparaissent sur les sgraffites, situés sous les appuis de fenêtres de l’étage. On peut également remarquer le sgraffite central représentant le « Triomphe du travail », œuvre de Paul Cauchie, tout comme les deux portraits de César de Paepe et d’Alfred Defuisseaux. Monument classé : 28-10-1982

Van Gogh house - Petit-Wasmes (Colfontaine)

221 Rue Wilson in Colfontaine“J’ai loué une petite maison où j’aimerais bien habiter tout à fait seul mais, pour l’instant, comme Pa trouve préférable, et moi-même aussi, que je loge chez Denis, elle ne me sert que d’atelier ou de cabinet de travail.” (translation in English: "I rented a small house in which I would really like to live absolutely alone but, for the moment, since Pa thought it preferable, and I did as well, that I stay with Denis, I only use it as a studio and as a place of work."(Vincent Van Gogh, writing to his brother Théo, letter dated 4 March 1879)It was in March 1879 that Vincent Van Gogh first refers to the house at 81 Rue du Petit Wasmes, which today is Rue Wilson in Colfontaine. Upon his arrival in the Borinage area a few months earlier, in December 1878, the evangelist Benjamin Vanderhaegen quickly found this house for him. The house belonged to a baker by the name of Jean-Baptiste Denis and was to play an extremely significant role in the artist's career.It was there that he experienced his "companionship" with miners. He made coal-mining the subject of his first attempts at sketches. It was also in his house that he wrote letters to his brother that were to, like his reading, orientate his life towards an extraordinary artistic destiny. These precious things which allow us to piece together the character of Van Gogh and which are part of history, in conjunction with the fact that the places referred to are still in existence, serve to add to our duty to preserve the house which belonged to Denis, which remains one of the few things that bear witness to the presence of Van Gogh in the Borinage area, and in particular at Wasmes (now Colfontaine).Public-interest heritageIn general, what remains for us today of Van Gogh, apart of course from his oeuvre, are traces of his career in the form of buildings – the house where he was born in Groot Zundert, the vicarage in Nuenen, the house in Cuesmes, the hospital in Saint-Rémy and the inn at Auvers-sur-Oise. The house at Colfontaine has now just completed this "pilgrimage way".To complete your tour, feel free to book a visit of the Van Gogh House in Cuesmes and the Marcasse site, two iconic locations of Van Gogh's time in the Borinage.The Van Gogh House in Cuesmes is also accessible with the Van Gogh Pass, available for purchase at visitMons or directly on site.For more information about the artist’s time in the region, visit our Van Gogh in the Borinage website.
