Steenwerck
Steenwerck (French pronunciation: [stɛ̃vɛʁk]; Dutch: Steenwerk) is a commune, in French Flanders, in the Nord department in northern France. It is located about 25 km (16 mi) north of Lille and in 2013 had a population of 3519. People from Steenwerck are known as Steenwerckois. It is home to Steenwerck's 100 km à pied race event, which mainly features a 100 km (62 mi) marathon, although most local residents prefer to merely walk one lap (roughly 22 kilometres (14 mi)). Steenwerck also has its own festival giant, as is the tradition in the Nord Department, which is named Totor and is one of the tallest, measuring 5.70 m (18.7 ft). Other places of interest include the Museum of Rural Life as well as three Commonwealth war cemeteries, and a German war cemetery, of the First World War.
