Cemetery of the First World War under the authority of the Portuguese Government which has brought together, since 1924, 1,831 bodies from the battlefields of France, Belgium and Germany. The memorial in the background was inaugurated in November 1928. The walls, the monumental gate and the tombs were built in 1935 with materials directly imported from Portugal. Classified as a historic monument since 2017, it is the only exclusively Portuguese cemetery in France.

The canal was completed in 1825. During the 1920s, the Aire canal underwent numerous works to facilitate the navigation of 350-ton boats. In the 1970s and 1980s, it was upgraded to a large size; today it is part of the Dunkirk Escaut connection.
