Hire a car in Valenciennes with Hertz
Car hire in Valenciennes allows you to explore the whole of the Nord department of France, so visit our local branch to find out what we can do for you. Lying on the Scheldt River, hiring a car in Valenciennes allows you to follow the river up and cross the border into Belgium. Having been almost completely destroyed in World War Two, there are just a few remaining historical buildings, including the façade of the town hall, the church of Notre Dame du Saint-Cordon, La Maison Espagnole, now used at the tourist office, and the Dodenne Tower, a remaining medieval fortification which survived Charles V's order to reduce them.
If you plan on hiring a car in Valenciennes, you can drive over to the Belgian border in 21 minutes (to the Belgian side of Quievrain). Historically renowned for its lace industry, Valenciennes was then a steel and textile industry until the 70s. Rent a car in Valenciennes to explore further afield; as noted above, you can get to Belgium in no time at all - but in Valenciennes itself, why not visit the Musee des Beaux-Arts, an art museum with both temporary and permanent exhibits, stemming from the building's history in the artistic life that was thriving before the French Revolution.
