Fourmies, Administrative center in Nord department, France
The commune of Fourmies sits at an elevation of 202 meters within the Nord department, featuring forests and ponds along the Helpe Mineure river.
The first glass manufacturing facility in northern France opened in Fourmies in 1599, establishing the town as an industrial center in the region.
The Grand Prix de Fourmies cycling competition, established in 1928, brings professional cyclists and spectators to the commune each year.
The town connects to major cities through a railway line between Lille and Hirson, with additional bus services from the Arc-en-Ciel network.
The Fusillade de Fourmies event of May 1891 marked a turning point in French labor history when troops fired upon striking workers.
