Villers-Plouich (French pronunciation: [vilɛʁ plui]) is a commune in the Nord department in northern France,[3] situated 14 km south-west of the town of Cambrai.
The village was rebuilt in the subsequent years, and is known today for its two impressive twentieth century churches, and as a producer of Belgian endive.
[7] Both churches, built during the years of reconstruction following the Great War, were designed by Pierre Leprince-Ringuet [fr] (winner of the 'Grand Prix de Rome'), and feature external sculpturing by Marcel Gaumont.
Outside the 'Mairie' (municipal hall), on 'Place de Wandsworth', stands a British red telephone box, which was installed to commemorate the centenary of the Armistice.
[17] For his courage and determination during the hostilities, Corporal Edward Foster, of Tooting, was awarded both the Victoria Cross and the Médaille militaire.
The village is served by the Line 14 TUC ('Transports urbains du Cambrésis') public bus that runs between Cambrai and Villers-Guislain.
