This country church was built in the 18th century with dressed stone and a slate roof. Note its stained-glass windows, restored in 2004, which let in a pretty light.

This neoclassical-style church was built in place of an older one destroyed during the Spanish invasions of 1636. It stands out for the bulbous dome topped by a spire of its bell tower, its pediment reminiscent of that of Valloires, or its five-bay nave.

Stunning trompe-l'œil murals offer a subtle tribute to the Polish airmen who fell in the area during World War II. Near the church, you'll find a collection of old photographs and information about Naours as it once was. Don't forget to look at the street signs, some of which also include the name in Picard dialect – a rare find!

At its origin, the underground of Naours was a chalk quarry used mainly for the tidal range of fields. In the 16th century, it was transformed into a refuge, called "muches" (Picard hiding places), for the inhabitants of the village, their goods and their animals until the end of the 17th century. Fallen into oblivion in the 19th century, the underground city will be rediscovered in 1887, studied from an archaeological point of view and then opened to visitors. An important occupation during the Thirty Years' War has been attested by archeology1. This underground city could shelter nearly 2,000 people. Throughout the galleries are the rooms of the different families. Also noticeable are the stables with the troughs, the ventilation chimneys and the smoke chimneys which stood out in those of the houses. Almost everywhere on the walls there are inscriptions, religious symbols, etc. with dates ranging from the year 1340 to 1792. It was finally used by British soldiers during the Second World War. The visit is worth the detour! Sources: http://www.citesouterrainedenaours.fr/ https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cit%C3%A9_souterraine_de_Naours https://vimeo.com/169669941
