This land belonged to the larger community of Saint-Vaast, which itself belonged to the Aulne Abbey.

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.
