Hello everyone! Today, we're going to continue our tour of Arquennes' old city Let's go! 24. ARQUENNES - OLD CITY (2) 1. We begin directly with the city's most famous landmarks, St. Etienne Cathedral and the episcopal palace. They were the symbols during centuries of the city's ecclesiastical power. Now, they attract many tourists. The cathedral's tower can be seen from many kilometers around. 2. On the right, the simply named Arquennes Museum, it was built in 1923 to show the many pieces of art that the Episcopal Principality had gathered during centuries. Not far from it, people love wandering next to Cardinal Ladeuze fountain. 3. The city is not flat of course! On the Right, St. Jacques' Gate, from the city's first wall. 4. People really appreciate pedestrian areas! 5. The last picture features several things that I've tried to implement in this city: More roundabouts to make it as much European as possible More curves to give the city a more natural look More green areas. FrankU's parks are awesome for that purpose! I can't stop using them. More empty walls. Cities IRL aren't perfect, so I don't think I should cover every walls, especially when the BAT maker added awesome textures on it! 6. 7. Rue du Rempart ('Wall street'), a pedestrian street with many restaurants. 8. The train station. As you can see, the building is a bit outdated. Fortunately, its renovation was decided by the national train company. 9. 10. 11. The Old Market, an institution in Arquennes, and the Memorial 39-45. 12. 13. 14. One small mosaic. 15. 3 Bigger views 16. 17. I hope you liked it!

I feel like an archaeologist everytime I post in my CJ Hi everyone! It's time for the next update! Today we're going to start our tour of the old city of Arquennes 23. ARQUENNES - OLD CITY (1) 1. Let's begin our tour at the City Hall. It was built outside the city walls at the end of the 18th century when the Church lost its grip on the city. On the other side of the street, you can see the St. Remacle Church, the oldest in the city, like the streets around it. 2. Real estate developers love that part of the city! 3. Not far from it, St. Jean Church and St. Georges' Gate, the only remaining gate of the city's second wall. 4. St. Jean Church is located next to one of the busiest intersection in the city. The city's location on a hill and its small streets have made mobility a huge problem for public authorities... 5. There is always a hidden park to take a walk in Arquennes. 6. 7. Here, the city wall was replaced with trees. 8. That part of the city is heavely and densely urbanised. The municipality has been trying for the last decade to make the city more citizen-friendly by transforming some busy streets into pedestrian areas. Those now attract more and more people. 9. 10. In case some citizens find that it is not enough, greener areas aren't far either. 11. The simply named 'Parc du Centre' (Centre's Park). 12. Football time 13. Two more general views. 14. I hope you liked it. Next update will show the other half of the city centre. Stay tuned - REPLIES - @The British Sausage Thanks mate! @_Michael Thanks a lot! @Sciurus: Thank you too! Sorry, impossible to tag you :/ @will62russ Thank you too! @JP Schriefer Thanks
