Things to see and do Wallonie

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.

Located in Barvaux, in the hamlet of Tour, this immense park of biological and landscape interest, classified Natura 2000, is ideal for walking and relaxation. It houses a Nature Museum, ideal for families. The Labyrinth of Barvaux is located in 11 hectares of cornfield. Each summer, a different route and theme form a maze that is worth the detour for children (young and old) to let off steam! (Princesses and Dragons, Peter Pan, The Smurfs...). The Labyrinth will be in its 24th edition in 2020.

Next to the church of St. Martin, this cave was built at the beginning of the th century by Father Jules Gérard, parish priest, with the help of the inhabitants. She is dedicated to Saint Antoine. It contains the grandeur of the saint as well as a statue of the devil of 700 kg.
