"Dedicated to music, its wrought iron scrolls are composed of lyres. A stone staircase gives access to it and its dome is apparently covered with zinc in the form of scales.

It was offered to the city by the contractor Charles Cavé (from Louvroil, in the North) who had been chosen for the construction of the covered market. The two buildings were inaugurated on January 26, 1890.

The bandstand was animated every Thursday evening at 8:30 a.m. by the music of the 21st Infantry Regiment.

In 2014, the kiosk was removed for restoration. It has regained all its splendor thanks to a generous donor."

"Dédié à la musique, ses volutes de fer forgé sont composées de lyres. Un escalier de pierres permet d'y accéder et son dôme est recouvert semble t-il de zinc en forme d'écailles.

Il fut offert à la ville par l’entrepreneur Charles Cavé (de Louvroil, dans le Nord) qui avait été choisi pour la construction du marché couvert. Les deux édifices sont inaugurés le 26 janvier 1890.

Le kiosque était animé chaque jeudi soir à 8 h 30 par la musique du 21° Régiment d’Infanterie.

En 2014, le kiosque est enlevé pour restauration. Il a retrouvé toute sa splendeur grâce à un généreux donateur. "
