Gussignies is a village of Nord Pas de Calais, in the department of North and the district of Avesnes-sur-Helpe.
Understand
Gussignies surprises in this department, considered the flat country. This village is indeed very hilly, since it has a vertical drop of 80 meters, formed by the torrential Hogneau.
This river allowed the installation of two industries exploiting stone, wealth of the local subsoil. Now missing, a discovery tour not only enhances this marble past, but also the presence of an active quarry.
Another element favorable to the walk is the still well preserved bocage in the heart of the village.
Finally, Gussignies is a welcoming village: there is no shortage of places to eat, sleep and relax.
