Located near Béthune, Beuvry is a historic town in the Pas-de-Calais department that successfully blends architectural heritage with natural landscapes. The standout landmark is the Manoir de l'Estrasselle, a 16th-century fortified manor house constructed in brick and stone, reflecting the architectural traditions of the Artois region. The Saint-Martin Church, dating back to the 16th century, showcases solid regional architecture and features beautiful woodwork in its interior. Beuvry was traditionally a milling center, and visitors can still admire the Moulin de Beuvry, a restored windmill that bears witness to the area's agricultural and pre-industrial past. The town borders the Loisne river, providing pleasant walking paths along its banks where locals and tourists can enjoy a quiet natural environment. The nearby Loisinord leisure park, situated on a former mining slag heap, has been transformed into a recreational area offering water sports and even an artificial ski slope.
