Car Hire in Valenciennes - Mini guide to Valenciennes

Valenciennes

Located in the northern part of France in the department of Nord, Valenciennes on the Escaut River is a town with a population of nearly 42,000. Valenciennes suffered from severe destructions during both World Wars, particularly during WWII when the entire town was almost completely destroyed.

Some of the attractions that survived the destruction of WWII include: the town hall’s magnificent façade, the medieval Dodenne Tower, the Spanish occupation’s remains known as La Maison Espagnole and the Notre-Dame du Saint-Cordon, which is a famous pilgrimage destination. The town also features the interesting Museum of Fine Arts.

The Nord department is positioned in the historic Nord-Pas-de-Calais region boasting an interesting blend of traditions, culture and natural beauty along with a great selection of outdoor activities. Along the Opal coast travellers may visit some of the picturesque traditional fishing villages and superb seaside resorts.

Some of the other features which make Nord-Pas-de-Calais a discovery-rich and enjoyable holiday destination include: numerous recreational facilities, colourful festivals, several breweries, cosy taverns and the welcoming and friendly local population. While touring the region, a visit to the city of Lille with its lively ancient district and fine arts museum should not be missed.

Visitors wishing to absorb and experience the atmosphere of the region are advised to book car hire online in advance instead of making use of the auto rental services provided by local companies, which often charge high rates. By booking online travellers will also benefit from the more lucrative deals offered by online booking car hire providers.
