Beneath the watchful spires of Douai, ancient secrets linger in the hush of candlelit chapels and echo in the clang of long-silent forges. Beyond the postcard facades lies a city shaped by rebellion, resilience, and whispered intrigue.

This self-guided audio tour threads you through Douai’s streets, unlocking stories behind towering churches, mysterious foundries, and halls that once decided fates. Every step reveals layers most visitors walk right past.

What silent oath transformed Saint-Pierre’s nave into a stage for upheaval overnight? Which vanished cannon from the Foundry tipped the scales in a war nobody dared predict? Why do the shadows in the Charterhouse Museum seem to harbor an unfinished love letter?

Follow twisting lanes and grand boulevards where drama waits around every corner. Douai’s true past surges up from stone and silence, ready for those bold enough to listen.

Start the journey now. Let Douai’s secrets find you.
