Kortrijk-Bissegem — from Gullegemsesteenweg to Meensesteenweg

In Bissegem, in the municipality of Kortrijk, this short route brings together five Art Deco buildings from 1926 to 1939. It starts at a wide-fronted house built in 1939 for E. Dumon, then passes the mirror-image social housing group built in 1926 on Hoogweg by the Leieland company, with door and window openings with chamfered upper corners. On Meensesteenweg, Michel Delrue, from Wevelgem, signed a pair of houses in a late, pared-down Art Deco (1937) and a house with a flagpole (1935); the route ends at a corner house of 1933, with stepped render and a hexagonal window.
