Travel Guide Béthune

Find an accommodation
Bethune was born before the 7th century. Defended by the river Lawe, which it dominates, and by the marshes that surround it, it very soon became important among the other towns of Artois and Flanders. The name of the town is formed from two words of Celtic origin: Bé (from Bey) would mean "near", while Thune(Thunen) would mean "hedge" or "bush". A church, a castle (since 970), all the conditions are met to see a population in search of security and sedentarization, especially merchants. The city will thus prosper thanks to the development of the cloth industry and trade.
