Hestrud

The Helpe Majeure river defines the setting of Hestrud — its route through the French-Belgian borderlands gives this small commune the character of a low, green rural valley. Hestrud lies in the Avesnois area of the Nord department, where hedgerows, pastures and scattered farm buildings are a familiar part of the countryside. The wider Avesnois is closely associated with dairy farming and Maroilles cheese, a protected regional speciality. Close to Belgium yet firmly rooted in northern France, the commune reflects a quieter side of Hauts-de-France beyond its larger industrial and coastal cities.
