Polissoir de Féchain

Highlight • Summit

The Féchain polisher dates from the Neolithic period (between the 10th and 20th centuries BC). It is then used for the polishing of flint axes: the basins of the upper face are formed by the polishing of the sides of the axes, the grooves by their edge.

Bridge Over the Canal

Highlight • Bridge

The Canal de la Sensée is a canal in northern France. The project was developed under Napoleon. In March 1806, the Imperial government ordered the construction of a canal connecting the Scarpe and the Scheldt. Work began under the direction of Augustin Honnorez in June 1819 and the Canal de la Sensée was opened to navigation in November 1820. Back then, the boats were pulled by men or horses who worked for ship owners. Shortly after World War I 1914-1918, horses were replaced by tractors. The Canal de la Sensée is part of the Dunkirk - Scheldt Canal.
