The canals in the town centre from Le Rœulx
The town of Le Rœulx is an important crossing point for river barges linking the Brussels–Charleroi Canal (at Seneffe) to the Nimy–Blaton–Péronnes Canal (at Nimy). They thus connect to the French canals.This walk will allow you to discover the old and new Canal du Centre, with its main points of interest, including, amongst others, the Strépy-Thieu funicular lift and the four hydraulic lifts located on the historic Canal du Centre.
On horseback around Ville-sur-Haine
The name of this village is said to come from the presence of a Roman villa built along the Haine River. The name evolved over the centuries, becoming 'Villa-Super-Hoeniam' (1240), 'Ville-Sour-Haine' (1293), 'Ville-sur-Haysne' (1660) and 'Ville-Sur-Heine' (1744). This walk will take you mainly along the towpaths of the Canal du Centre and the Canal du Centre Historique.
