Hesdin, the most beautiful village in Hauts-de-France
Nestling in the heart of the picturesque Hauts-de-France region, Hesdin is a true gem of France. It combines the charm of an authentic village with a beauty that transcends the seasons.
The enchanting village of Hesdin has a rich history dating back to the Middle Ages. At the time, it was a strategic point for trade and commerce in the region. Founded in the 10th century, the town has evolved over time to become a thriving commercial centre, thanks to its lively market and fairs.
Hesdin's past has also been marked by periods of destruction. Indeed, during the Hundred Years' War, the town was the scene of fierce battles before it was rebuilt. Today's architecture reflects the Flemish influence of the period, with half-timbered houses and cobbled streets.
Hesdin's well-preserved buildings and historic remains bear witness to its rich and varied history, inviting visitors to take a trip back in time.
In addition to its historic heritage, Hesdin offers a wide range of activities for tourists.
