The Saint-Quentin canal more or less faithfully follows the Escaut river. Its route is marked by locks and footbridges which are individually points of interest. The towpath that runs along the canal allows easy access to the interesting points that border it. This lock is lock n°24 of Seraucourt-le-Grand on the Saint-Quentin canal.

Completely constructed in white and black stone, the Basilica of Saint-Quentin is the second Gothic building in Picardy. Built between the end of the 12th and the end of the 15th centuries, it is best known as the burial place of the martyr Quentin, who gave it its name. Listed as a historical monument, the building boasts original architecture, with a porch tower over 34 meters high, a double transept, and a concentric choir. Inside, visitors are captivated by the ancient 260-meter-long labyrinth carved into the nave's paving. Stained glass windows installed at various times complement the artistic offerings of the Basilica of Saint-Quentin, particularly medieval stained glass windows in the 12th-century apse chapels. These depict episodes from the lives of the Virgin Mary and Saint Stephen.
