A chapel dating from 1842, the Château de La Phalecque and a three-hundred-year-old beech tree give Lompret a variety of points of interest. There is also the green space at the Base de loisirs du Fort and municipal activities with set times. If you are planning an overnight stay in Lompret, you can shape your visit around these specific themes: architectural history, rural character or leisure activities.

The chapel and Château de La Phalecque

The chapel in Lompret dates from 1842 and is located on Rue de la Chapelle in the town centre. The Château de La Phalecque has a different architectural history: the Seigneurie de La Phalecque is mentioned as early as 1295 and comprised a farm and a château. The present-day château was built in the 18th century and features characteristics of the town houses of Lille from that period.

Later changes are also documented in detail. In the 1850s, Alban Edmond d'Hespel de Flencques had his coat of arms installed above the main entrance and added a second building to the rear façade. The chapel and château thus offer different historical and architectural points of interest. Anyone interested in local architectural history will find both a 19th-century building and a château whose history goes back to an earlier seigneurie.

Rural character and a remarkable tree

Lompret combines farming, nursery and horticultural activities with a well-preserved rural setting. One striking example is the three-hundred-year-old beech tree in the Lompret nursery. It bears the “Arbre remarquable” label, giving the landscape a specific natural and cultural heritage feature.

This rural character is not just described in general terms; it is also reflected in the activities mentioned locally. The beech tree adds a single, clearly identified natural landmark to this picture. When planning your visit, you can therefore choose between focusing on historic buildings and exploring the town's rural character.

Leisure activities and municipal events

The Base de loisirs du Fort is located on Route de Verlinghem in Lompret. Its green space covers 11 hectares. Facilities include three tennis courts, a mini-golf course, children's play areas, a fitness trail and an adventure trail for younger children. The site also includes a farm that welcomes children from leisure centres, as well as an ice rink. Facilities and activities may change, so check the current offering before visiting.

The municipal walking programme offers a different kind of activity: a walk of 5 to 8 kilometres in and around Lompret is scheduled every Tuesday morning from 10 a.m. to noon. The meeting point is the forecourt of the church. The distance is given as a range, not as one fixed route length. As activity details may change, it is a good idea to check the current date and meeting point in advance.

Lompret en Fête takes place on the first weekend of October. Saturday's programme includes “Lompret en courant” and networking games; on Sunday, a traditional youth flea market is part of the programme. Details may vary from one edition to the next. Check the specific dates and programme for the relevant edition before travelling.

A culinary highlight

La Ferme Blanche in Lompret is a restaurant-hotel. Its cuisine reinterprets regional produce with fresh herbs from the garden. This adds a specific gastronomic highlight to the town's historical and rural themes. Restaurant offerings may change, so check the latest details if you would like to include this in your plans.
