Bailleul, Border commune in Nord department, France.
Located in French Flanders, Bailleul extends across a strategic position 3 kilometers from the Belgian border and 26 kilometers northwest of Lille.
The town underwent substantial reconstruction after World War I, with more than 90 percent of its Flemish center destroyed during the German Spring Offensive in 1918.
The city hall and belfry of Bailleul received UNESCO World Heritage recognition in 2005 as part of the Belfries of Belgium and France collection.
The railway station connects travelers directly to major regional destinations including Lille, Calais, and Dunkirk through regular train services.
The Jardin des Plantes Sauvages botanical garden maintains over 850 species of native plants, contributing to regional biodiversity conservation.
