Quote *Valenciennes is sometimes called the "Athens of France".
I've never heard this name. All the references I could find lead to en.wikipedia.
I removed the line.

- I heard it once, in Le jeu des mille euros, référence s'il en est ! _R_ 00:15, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- pour moi ça n'en est pas une. / for me a radio game is not a good 'source' FoeNyx 11:21, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- I've heard it called "l'Athenes du nord" (Athens of the North) but not "Athens of France". The former sounds plausible; the latter a bit of a strong claim... --Marlow4 21:44, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
- It's l'Athènes du Nord, the line should be added. You can see it called like that on the city's university website :
http://www.univ-valenciennes.fr/uvhc/historique.html
- Part of me would still say to have more than one source...it could just be a snooty claim by the University. If there are more than one source (independent of each other) that would be ideal, and I think that both should be cited when we do add the nickname.

Destruction in 1940
Is it true that the city was devastated by the French in 1940, and not by the German enemy?Royalcourtier (talk) 23:36, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
