PLACE DU WETZ D'AMAIN

It is one of the lowest points in the city. Until the end of the th century there was a water mill. His name comes from the former French «Wez Lady Emmain», himself from the Latin who meant «Water de Dame Emma». In this place, the Mont-Saint-Eloi shelter (th century), a building where the members of the abbey of Mont-Saint-Eloi came to a close in the event of a conflict. The statue, erected in 1896 in memory of Father Halluin (benefactor to whom there are many orphanages in the region), should soon be restored.
