Located less than 5 miles away from Béthune, 6 miles from the new museum Louvre-Lens or 30 min away from Lille, one of the region’s biggest city, Annequin is a quiet village belonging to UNESCO World Heritage Site thanks to its mining history.
The Guestrooms “Les Sables de la Fontaine” (The Sands of theFountain) are nested in the middle of a safe and natural heaven in the rural part of Annequin (called by the Natives “le Bas d’Annequin” – “Lower Annequin”). They are a combination of three independant rooms sheltered in an ancient and wooden farm which was rebuilt. One room (located on the ground floor) has been thoughtfully designed to welcome wheelchairs.
Les Sables de la Fontaine joined the “Northern France Battlefields Partner” association due to its proximity with the front line during the First World Wide as well as the town’s past and the remembrance tourism operating in the whole region.
Newly chosen as AmBBassadors from the close cites of Béthune-Bruay, we are ready to share with you our knowledge regarding cultural, sport-related of festive events taking place in the surroundings.
