Beuvry (French pronunciation: [bøvʁi]) is a commune in the Pas-de-Calais department in the Hauts-de-France region in northern France.

La Caroline owed its design to the work of professor Jacques Charles and Jean Baptiste Meusnier and achieved the world's first ever flight over 100 km.

[4][5] In the Ville de Beuvry a stone monument was erected to commemorate the 200th anniversary landing of the brothers in La Caroline on 19 September 1784.

[6] A celebration ball la ducasse "du Ballon" is now held at the end of September each year.

However, many of the Beuvrygeois voiced their dissatisfaction with the decision at the time, which resulted in the municipal elections of 1995, petitions in 1995 and 1996 and the creation, in October 1996, of a special commission to give an opinion on draft amendments to the territorial limits of the city of Béthune for the re-creation of a separate town of Beuvry.
