Built around a crossing of the River Scheldt, Tournai grew into one of Belgium’s oldest cities and an important centre of Wallonia. The river still runs through its historic core, where the Notre-Dame Cathedral rises with five Romanesque towers; the cathedral forms part of Tournai’s UNESCO World Heritage heritage. Nearby, the city’s medieval belfry is another enduring emblem of civic life. French is the everyday language here, while the streets, squares and churches reflect Tournai’s long role in the cultural landscape of western Belgium.
