Things to see and do Tournai

The former Mouscron swimming pool was inaugurated in 1948, after a period of construction interrupted by the Second World War. At the time, it reflected a political will to develop the health and hygiene of a large working class population. The Mouscronnois Dolphin Swim Club then took over the area, with an apprenticeship carried out at the time using belts suspended from cables to keep the students flush with the water. Externally, the building has modern architectural features, with a double gallery of cabins surrounding the basin inside, typical of buildings of this style built in the first half of the 20th century. Disused since 1989, it now hosts communal workshops, a radio station and courses of the Academy of Fine Arts. The large basin hosts temporary exhibitions by local artists.

A showcase for contemporary Belgian and foreign prints, you will discover posters, lithographs, linocuts, comic strips, digital images... Nearly 11,000 pieces of documentation available to the public (on request). Throughout the year, the Centre de la Gravure proposes temporary exhibitions, either from its collections or through works entrusted to it, from traditional techniques to the expression of new trends in printed images.

Nestled at the wood summit between Frasnes and Lessines, this museum is perhaps unique in the world. Because his owner, Lucien de Schepper is a passionate one as we do more. Everything you always dreamed of knowing about the bike and the Tour de France without ever daring to ask. From the little anecdote to the great feats of this legendary race, Lucien has accumulated archival treasures. His house is also the starting point for several ATV circuits.

A large discovery that this mound, says Trou hole, which date at the end of the th century after B.C., consists of a funeral pen, a main cave and small annexes. Nearby is a Gallo-Roman set in the early th century. A former Roman tomb, the burial mound was buried in Antonius, who was known for his work in the exploitation of limestone and stone quarries, which perhaps gave his name to the city. The site is currently inaccessible due to work. Please contact the tourist office.
