RED Rando Evasion Découverte

This is a lovely countryside route, straddling the border between Leers in France and Leers-Nord in Belgium. The route starts at the "Maison du Canal", a former lock-keeper’s house on the banks of the Canal de l’Espierres, which links the Canal de Roubaix to the Scheldt.

This is a lovely nature walk close to the town of Mouscron. It is a countryside route on small tarmac roads with little traffic and on footpaths. You will discover the Château des Comtes, surrounded by moats, and the Martine Museum. You will stroll through the Bois Fichaux on the slopes of the Mouscron hill.

This circular route takes you through the Scheldt plain between the two villages of Esquelmes and Ramegnies-Chin. It is a rural route along paths and small country roads. Take care when crossing the Tournai road. You will discover the pretty church of Esquelmes near the Scheldt, lined with trees, and the many calvaries and chapels. You will walk along paths lined with hedges and take small passages. At the edge of the Scheldt, you will see Mont Saint-Aubert on the other bank.
