At the gates of the city of Lille, at 90 minutes from London, Wambrechies is nestled in the heart of the Val de Deûle. Its marina, its parks, its green corridors along the Deûle, its services, its agricultural lands and its museums make it a nice place to experience. Proud of its heritage, Wambrechies is a vibrant city, with plural cultural and leisure offerings, facing a future written in its remarkable natural environment.
A large wooded park in the city centre, a marina, point of departure for walks along the river, marked trails ... and yet you're in town, 7 km from the centre of Lille. For a day or to live in, Wambrechies will surprise and delight you.
One step aside, and they are miles of hiking trails in unspoilt countryside available. Nature, worked for generations, can also be wild. Ponds and wetlands of the Deûle Valley are home of a flora and fauna up to discover during your walks.
Lovers of old stones ? A stride and you go from the church of Saint-Vaast, fully renovated, to the Robersart castle, jewel of the wambrecitan history. The Tourist Office, located in “1868” City Hall, will guide you through the high places of the local heritage.
Wambrechies is also a city where culture is alive. Painters, musicians, visual artists… Many are the artists to find here an environment conductive to creativity.
Local cultural life, plentiful, knows how to diversify. From Deûle en fête to a lyric show, from a reggae concert to a contemporary dance ballet, Wambrechies offers a true cultural mosaic.
Very well served by many transportations (bus, rail, the Deûle river, roads), the city benefits from its geographical location and displays a dynamic economy, underscored by the presence of shops and artisans.
Between tradition and modernity, Wambrechies will charm you.
