As well as Rome has her mythical story, this region also has a legend of a she-wolf nursing a child at La Louvière. In fact, the city turned up in history in the 12th century. This region, as well as the most part of Western Europe, originally was a woodland, with plenty of wolves in it.The territory was named Menaulu, from the Old French meaning “wolf’s lair”. This land belonged to the larger community of Saint-Vaast, which itself belonged to the Aulne Abbey.

This belonges to the Major Mining Sites of Wallonia, designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 2012. One of those houses can be seen by the public; also, there are a few museums dealing with the history of the coal mining industry in the Centre region.

Folklore

The name of the Carnival of La Louvière is Laetare, after the Latin verb meaning “to enjoy”. These festivities last three days, Sunday to Tuesday, and takes place in the middle of Lent. The Gilles are out in the streets, stomping to the rhythm of their music and distributing oranges to the passers-by. Giant puppets and various other groups are also essential in the carnival. Typical of La Louvière’s celebrations is the so-called Brûlage des Bosses (“burning of the humps”), where a puppet dressed as a Gilles is burnt to symbolize the end of carnival and beginning of a new life.
