Haybes: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Culture

Notable cultural landmarks in Haybes include the Monument aux Morts, inaugurated in 1926, and the replica of the Grotte de Lourdes, which has stood on the Place du Vivier since 1928. The Église Saint-Pierre Saint-Paul has a Latin cross-shaped floor plan and was built from rubble stone made of Haybes arkose.

The first route of the Parcours du Patrimoine leads for 3 kilometres through Haybes’ urban cultural heritage. The second route covers around 6 kilometres to former slate quarry sites within the town and crosses the first route. Another circular route in the Mohron Valley highlights six sites associated with the slate heritage of the Fumay and Haybes basin: the Moulin Labotte, the Ruisseau de Morhon, the Ardoisière du Fond d’Oury, the small bridge, the exploration pits and the Camp des Hesses.

The Église Saint-Pierre Saint-Paul is open to the public only during religious services. The exhibition École d'autrefois can be visited on the upper floor of the Maison des Randonnées. Fest'in Haybes is an annual summer festival lasting two days.

When planning a trip to Haybes, you can take into account the desire to rent a holiday apartment.

Nature

The freely accessible Balade poétique au milieu des arbres fruitiers features works on nature themes in the Verger conservatoire and the arboretum next to the Maison des Randonnées. The Verger conservatoire – Haybes contains 120 trees representing 40 varieties of apples, pears, plums and cherries. The Verger conservatoire – Haybes serves as a refuge for animals and plants; bats, owls and songbirds, among others, find shelter there in nesting boxes or provided shelters.

From April to the end of September, visitors can follow the educational trails of the Verger conservatoire – Haybes with an explanatory booklet available on site. The Circuit Ardoises et Légendes follows the Ruisseau du Mohron and has seven information panels about work in the slate quarries.
