Ath
Ath is a French-speaking town of about 30,000 inhabitants (2024) in the centre of western Hainaut, mid-way between Brussels and Lille in France. Famous for the annual Ducasse festival, this typically Belgian small town with architecture from different eras can make a nice daytrip from Brussels or Lille. Wikivoyage
