Some real WOW factor in this area.
About Lens and Bethune
In this town, there is an annex of the Lourve museum with a couple of small galleries and a vast underground storage facility holding an amazing amount of art that is rotated into the main Lourve and other museums. It was a school day, so it was packed with smelly teens, but we had a great visit anyway. For lunch we went to Bethune - the current front-runner in our quest for a French home. The town has an amazing town square and a large number of buildings supporting really amazing facades. Enjoy!
