City of Fourmies 59610 France

Fourmies… Hello then I am going to present you the city or I now live since more of 5 years. It is about the city of Fourmies (postal code 59610).

But good you could see the magnificent photos before the beginning of my article, then an advice you don’t trust to the appearances!

To develop this remark I am going to take the liberty first of all to mention you an article of the official site of the city of Fourmies:

Fourmies is the most important shopping mall and cultural of the south-Avesnois and belongs at the 3rd region industrial French.
It is a city to the country, surrounded with wood, of ponds, of grove and that is situated, by the road, to 1h15 Brussels or Lille, 2h of Paris, 2h30 of Rotterdam and Cologne, to 3h30 London.

Fourmies and her region have one-handed competent, motivated and available work, of an effective school infrastructure, of sporty facilities of 1st order with a very rich associative cloth, of a very dense cultural network, of a very effective commercial cloth (center dynamic city, commercial activity zone…).

There is therefore to begin some small Insees statistics of our charming small city:

Population: 13 865 hab
Density (1999): 603 hab / km²
Come back by household: 11 080 € / year (either hardly 923€ per month on average by home!)
Active population: 5 236
Unemployed person: 1 468
Rate of unemployment: 28% (national average: 10,49%!!)

After a small calculation population-(active population + unemployed person) have that recovers with 7161 people non identified 49% of the population of the city of Fourmies therefore on the whole that life of the rsa, of the domestic allowances, pension of invalidity or the retirement… I specify that the term active population regroups the occupied active population (named as “active population having an use”) and the unemployed person…

To realize that these statistics are founded he/it is sufficient you to return you to the post office of Fourmies the 5,6 and 7 of every month! I promise you that you are going very quickly to understand with what the population of Fourmies survival…

Then when one leaves me a joke of the kind city of Fourmies 3éme region industrial French but I died to laugh!

And again these statistics date a little. It is necessary to know that at the present time it is not rare to find 5 houses to sell in the same street! And hold yourselves well on every house you see 3 panels of different real estate agencies and yes the poor owners don’t manage to sell!

Besides statistics show us that we are the region with the most elevated rate of demand of help to the level restaurant of the heart and Catholic help.

Therefore I don’t even speak to you the joke “centers dynamic city, commercial activity zone…) all trading doesn’t even hold their boutiques don’t turn! And seen the world that one crosses in center city that wants to say 30 people on average one understood quickly…

Whereas is going to become this population who clings to their city of Fourmies without opening the eyes on the hell that becomes life here?
