Tournai (in Dutch: Doornik) is located in Wallonia, 85 kilometres southwest of Brussels, on the river Scheldt, in the Belgian province of Hainaut. It is the second oldest city in Belgium and has played an important role in the country's cultural history. As of 1 January 2005, the municipality counts 67,476 inhabitants.
History
Tournai existed already in Roman times and came into the possession of the Salian Franks in 432. Under kings Childeric and Clovis, Tournai was the capital of the Frankish empire. In the year 486, Clovis moved the center of power to Paris, but in turn Tournai was made siege of a bishopric that extended over the entire region of Flanders. Its first bishop was Eleutherius, himself a native son of Tournai.
