Located in Sections, at the foot of the Lorette Hill, the European Peace Centre offers you an exhibition relating to the First World War, which has greatly affected envrions. It is a place of memory that plunges the visitor into the Great War from an artistic point of view: drawings, engravings, sculpted objects, stylized faces and other aesthetic traces that men confronted with the horror of the conflict have kept to witness their passage. A film composed of archival images (visible at any time) recounts the major stages of the war.

Formerly named La Grange Nature, the house of Du opens the doors of the Natural Reserve which allows observation of the fauna and flora of the audomarois marsh. The projection of a large screen film, free access exhibitions and a nature shop are available in season. In the vicinity, walks accessible to all (non-sighted persons, persons with reduced mobility) in the picturesque audomarois marsh, in a field of 3 400 ha. The secret and picturesque atmosphere, the great calm, visits the natural reserve of Du which allows to approach many bird species: herons, teal, ducks, cormorants… and to discover the paludière flora. The forest of Rihout-Clairmarais covers 1 200 ha, and there will be romantic walks on the edge of the pond of Harchelles. Many picnic sites around the pond and in the forest.
