A weekend in Douai has to include a discovery of the fabulous Douai belfry and its chimes, which symbolize the freedom of the city. This belfry, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, was built around 1380. It is the pride of the city and all its inhabitants. The second monument to visit is the Chartreuse Museum, which features some magnificent Italian, Dutch, Flemish and French paintings. Enjoy too tasting some of the local cuisine, in one of the downtown inns or in the comfortable Campanile restaurant at your hotel.
