Comines

The Saint-Chrysole church dates back to the end of the 1920s and is a neo-Byzantine style. Classified as Historic Monuments, it is the work of Maurice Storez and Dom Bellot, two French architects specializing in religious edifices. Inside, it is possible to admire many stained glass windows attributed to Mr. Hollart, as well as a bell tower of more than fifty meters. Partially constructed of reinforced concrete, material very appreciated of the time, it also reveals a beautiful mixture of bricks of sand and blocks of different colors. It was intended to replace the previous church, destroyed during the battles of the Great War.

The city hall of Comines is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is listed as Historical Monuments. The latter dates from the twelfth century, and served at that time to symbolize the right of the city to administer alone. Destroyed by fire on numerous occasions, it was rebuilt every time, taking its current form in the first half of the seventeenth century. Rebuilt in the 1920s following the Great War, it rises to nearly sixty meters high.

The market takes place on Mondays and Saturdays morning. A Christmas market is also offered at the end of the year.

In June, place at the festival J'veux du Soleil and its many festive concerts.

Every second Sunday in October, the town organizes the Feast of the Ladies. For the occasion, tanks travel the city center, and hundreds of wooden ladles are thrown from the heights of the town hall. For the occasion, a fair is also offered every October 9, Saint-Denis Day. A theme is offered each year for the Franco-Belgian parade, and the three days of festivities allow you to also attend a fair and a cycling race. On this occasion, the giants of Comines are exhibited during the procession.
