Soignies intra-muros tire son attrait d'une allure traditionnelle que lui confère l'inflexion de ses petites rues convergeant vers l'imposante collégiale Saint-Vincent. Placée au rang du patrimoine exceptionnel de Wallonie, cet édifice millénaire, d'une remarquable authenticité, constitue la clé de voûte du paysage sonégien et de l'histoire de cette ancienne "bonne ville" de Hainaut. En effet, la "cité de saint Vincent" fut, durant l'Ancien Régime, une seigneurie ecclésiastique aux mains d'un puissant chapitre de chanoines. De cette époque subsitsent notamment plusieurs demeures canoniales à l'architecture soignée et des chapelles classées, dont celle du Vieux Cimetière formant, avec son écrin arboré parsemé de monuments funéraires et votifs, un site privilégié. Partout ici, sous diverses formes, est mise en valeur la "pierre bleue", précieuse ressource du sous-sol local, qui assura le développement de la ville à l'ère industrielle et qui, aujourd'hui encore, connaît une réputation internationale.

This attractive booklet is a guide to two walks around the historic town of Sandwich, once one of the great ports of medieval England. As a Cinque port, it served successive monarchs as a military and naval base for their overseas expeditions and its trading activities extended far and wide. The town still displays signs of those prosperous centuries: an unchanged street plan, a virtually intact circuit of town walls and an exceptionally large number of well-preserved medieval houses. Two walks, clearly described with maps and copious photos, unlock the features of this fascinating town. The f
