The Ascenseur à bateaux des Fontinettes is a historic boat lift in Arques, France. It was built between 1881 and 1887 and is the only remaining boat lift in France. It was built to link the River Lys with the River Aa, giving Lille and other inland cities a French route to the sea. The canal has a maximum height of 19 metres and a minimum height of 3 metres. It is a unique feat of hydraulic engineering and works on the principle of communicating vessels and Archimedes' law. It can carry two boats at a time and takes approximately 22 minutes to raise or lower a boat. It is a popular tourist attraction and offers a fascinating insight into France's industrial history.

The canal was built in 1760 to connect the River Lys to the River Aa, giving Lille and other inland cities a French route to the sea. The canal has a maximum height of 19 metres and a minimum height of 3 metres. The canal has a number of historic features, including three locks from the eighteenth century and a double lock from 1887 called the Ascenseur des Fontinettes.

This market town is famous for its strawberries, which have been cultivated for over a century. There is also an annual Strawberry Festival celebrated throughout the region. The Grand'Place, the rectangular village square, is lined with old houses, mainly from the 18th century. Samer owes its name to H. Wulmaars, a monk who founded a Benedictine abbey here in the 7th century.
