Belgium Wallonia Soignies

Soignies - Place Verte by grotevriendelijkereus

Established in the 7C, Soignies history is evident throughout the village, including in its ancient abbey.

Soignies is also well known for its blue limestone (from the Carrières du Hainaut) and its glass industry (Durobor). The collegiate church of St Vincent is one of the earliest specimens of Romanesque churches in Belgium. The choir dates from the beginning of the 11th century while the Gothic west tower dates from around 1250. The cemetery still has tombs of the 13th and 14th century. Near the church stands the Cloth Market (in French Halle aux Draps), dating from the 16th century.

Thank you RoutePerfect for a fantastic holiday in Spain. We were extremely happy with all of the hotels, they were excellent. Every hotel we arrived at had all the details, payment information etc. not one problem wherever we went. Will absolutely recommend to everyone we speak to.

First of all, the service from your team was great. When I rang customer service, the lady I spoke to was really helpful. RoutePerfect made planning our trip really easy. The site is fantastic in that it prices your overall trip for you and then allows you to change your hotels if you want to, updating the price as you go along. It was great to have everything paid in advance and to have the prepaid vouchers. the hotel staff all seemed familiar with this method.
