Bondues

Tucked into the level plains of French Flanders, Bondues is a place whose character is shaped by its position on the northern edge of the Lille metropolitan area. Its principal heritage site is Fort de Bondues, a late-19th-century military work in the Séré de Rivières defensive system. During the German occupation, the fort was used for the execution of Resistance members; it now houses the Musée de la Résistance de Bondues, which documents this history. Residential neighbourhoods and traces of the area’s farming past give the town a distinctly Flemish suburban character.
