Maubeuge / Aulnoye-Aymeries : New train line

Take the new railway lines connecting the cities of Namur, Charleroi and Mons to Maubeuge and Aulnoye-Aymeries all for a reduced fare.

Twice a day, in both directions, either a morning train or an evening train, on weekdays and at weekends, travel with ease beyond the border to the Hauts-de-France region in North East France.

Discover Maubeuge, its millenial past, its astonishing history and sporting, cultural and historical activities. Visit the ruins of the Fortifications of Vauban, the Zoological Park or the Fort de la Salamagne.

Stroll through Aulnoye-Aymeries, this town in the heart of the Regional Natural Park of l'Avesnois, meadowland lined with hedgerow, forests of deciduous trees, orchards and flowers, meandering rivers, waterside windmills, gastronomy... a 'green' destination and just a stone's throw from Belgium.

In les Hauts-de-France, filled waffles, bêtises de Cambrai sweets and le Maroilles cheese are the essence of good food. Don't miss out!

A light-hearted book "L’extraordinaire voyage de Gaston au pays des villes fortifiées" ('The extraordinary voyage of Gaston to the country of fortified cities') is available at the tourist office of Maubeuge. This booklet, aimed at children aged 7 to 12, pays honour to the diversity of the heritage of the North Pas-de-Calais in a fun discovery rally.
