Located in the heart of the southern Avesnois region, in the Nord department, Fourmies is a town with a rich industrial past, most notably shaped by the textile industry. Beyond its history, heritage, and vibrant community life, the town also benefits from a well-preserved natural environment, typical of the Avesnois area.
Since 2015, the town has been committed to a process of sustainable transformation through “rev3″—a regional initiative fostering a “third industrial revolution.” This ambition is reflected in concrete actions supporting ecological, energy, digital, and societal transitions, all aimed at rethinking lifestyles, practices, and the development of the local area.
Specifically, the town is working toward reducing energy consumption, developing renewable energy sources, preserving natural resources, and adapting to climate change.
