Grand-Place, Medieval square in Béthune, France
The Grand-Place features a rectangular layout surrounded by brick buildings displaying regional architecture styles and Art Deco elements from the 1920s reconstruction period.
Built in the Middle Ages with its belfry dating from 1346, the square underwent extensive reconstruction between 1920 and 1927 following World War I damages.
Every Monday, local farmers and artisans gather at the Grand-Place market, maintaining a centuries-old tradition of commerce and social interaction.
The square contains numerous cafes with outdoor seating areas, while guided tours during summer include access to the belfry's panoramic viewpoint.
The surrounding facades incorporate medieval references and symbolic details within their architecture, reflecting the evolution of local building techniques through centuries.
