Caudry: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes
Culture and History
The Basilique de Caudry is dedicated to Sainte Maxellende, a young woman from Caudry who was martyred in the 7th century by Harduin d’Amerval. The Basilique Sainte-Maxellende de Caudry is a Gothic building constructed between 1887 and 1890 according to plans by Lille architect Louis Cordonnier. The basilica also houses the 14th-century reliquary of Sainte Maxellende, which is classified as a Historic Monument.
The Espace de Vie Historique can be reached by crossing the Place des Mantilles from the Musée de la dentelle; a lift provides access to the third floor.
The Espace de Vie Historique André Flament reconstructs a street with shops, cobblestones and pavements modelled on the 1930s. Using postcards, photographs and newspapers, it presents the history of Caudry and related topics.
Anyone wishing to rent a holiday apartment in Caudry is planning their own stay in the town.
Lace Craftsmanship
On the ground floor, the Musée des Dentelles et Broderies presents the history and technology of Caudry’s lace industry in a video. The museum also offers a workshop visit during which machines demonstrate the various stages of lace production. A professional lace maker demonstrates a working Leavers machine there.

The Base de Loisirs du Val du Riot includes a 12-hectare park characterised by trees and home to numerous animals that live there either temporarily or permanently. The leisure centre provides space for walks and outdoor activities. Three ponds at the Base de Loisirs du Val du Riot allow visitors to fish.
