This port on the Deûle, a wide-gauge canal linking Belgium to the Lille metropolitan area, enjoys a privileged geographical position. At the heart of the Lille metropolitan area's green lung (with its extensive soft traffic network), it is centrally located near the Prés du Hem infrastructure (leisure center and marina) in Armentières, and the ports of Halluin and Wambrechies. This location has the advantage of attracting a diversified clientele. These include regional yachts located in local ports, and cross-border yachts in transit.

The port is also home to Fluvialys France, a company offering a full range of services, including boat handling with the installation of a lifting crane, and boat sales, repairs and winter storage. These services enhance the port's attractiveness and contribute to the development of river tourism in the region. Further information: www.fluvialys.fr or 06 32 66 13 83.
