Valenciennes for two, at your own pace & in freedom

What could be better than discovering new horizons together? There’s nothing like a romantic getaway in the Valenciennes region. What’s on the agenda? Dolce Vita and discoveries as free as air!

Valenciennes tours in love

Enjoy the peace and quiet of a regional nature park. Stroll as you please through the streets of old Valenciennes, its “museum” park, its market… You’ll be spoilt for choice! The Valenciennes region never ceases to invite epicureans to raise a glass of “made here” wine or beer. Vary the pleasures of a break on the terrace or an aperitif by the water… You’ll love it!

Gourmet trips to the countryside

In total freedom around our mining heritage

Discover the mining heritage of Condé-sur-l’Escaut, with your hair blowing in the wind and free access. Take a stroll through a virtual reality reconstruction of a vanished historical site: the Ledoux pit floor. The most motivated will climb the legendary terril of the same name; once at the top, the view is breathtaking! Another idea… Take a tramway ride in the footsteps of Zola’s Germinal, leap into the future and imagine life here in 2084.

Climb to the top of a slag heap and contemplate 3 centuries of mining history
