Just a short walk from the Hotel de Ville, the Pierre Catteau Square is a haven of peace and tranquillity. It was purchased by the town council in 1890 from the heirs of a rich textile merchant. At the centre of this park is a lake around which large flowerbeds are arranged within vast lawns, giving this place its romantic feel. It is the perfect place to spend an afternoon relaxing, away from the hustle and bustle of the city streets.
