Wervicq-Sud is one of the oldest villages still existent, dating back to Roman times. The town is separated from its Belgian Flemish sister town of Wervik by the river Lys. Located 15 km north of Lille and 20 km south of Ypres. The name appears in the form Viroviacum in the Antonine Itinerary and the Peutinger map of settlements in the 3rd century.
