3 Wooden Giants to enhance tourist appeale

With the aim of strengthening the tourist appeal of emblematic sites in Picardy Wallonia, the IDETA Territory Development Agency commissioned Amazone Adventure to design and build 3 Wooden Giants.

Installed around an artistic path in the municipal park of Mont de l'Enclus, they allow you to discover the legend of Liedericq.

Liederick's tale

Around the year 620, when King Dagobert reigned, the 'Prince of Salvaert' crossed the forest of 'Mont de l'Enclus'. He would have been attacked by Count Phinaert. The whole caravan is killed, except his wife who will escape and give birth of a little boy whom she will hide under a bush before being captured. The child will be taken in and brought up by 'Ermite' and gave him his name: Liedericq. He will be the founder of the cities of Lille (France) and Bruges (Belgium).
