Car Hire in Hirson - Mini guide to Hirson
Being several miles near the southern border of Belgium, Hirson is a town in the Aisne department of the Picarde region in northern France. In history, it was one of the important strategic locations, not just because of its proximity to the country’s border, but also because it was situated near the intersection of a number of railway systems.
The strategic importance of Hirson was proven by the construction of two artillery batteries and a fort near the railway intersection in the early 20th century. During this time, Hirson’s economy depended on the manufacture of tiles, glass bottles, and materials made from tin and iron.
In the 12th century, Hirson started to progress economically. Many say it is because of the construction of two abbeys. One was founder for the Irish and Scottish Benedictine monks and is located at St. Michel.
Another structure worth visiting in Hirson is the Saint Martin de Wimy. This was a church built by Georges Albert Munier during the 16th century in order to protect the people.
Hirson boasts of natural parks and gardens that attract many nature-loving travelers. There are forests, lakes and waterfalls. Blangy has many activities to offer its visitors. Kayaking, cycling, fishing and walking are just some. Travelers may also visit two of the gardens in Hirson. First are the flower gardens at the Puisieux et Clanlieu. On the other hand, at Lycee Agricole de la Thierache, landscaped gardens are built around a farm with apple orchards.
With a land area of about 35 square kilometers, Hirson only has a population of less than 15,000.
