The two rivers trail from Fouquières-lès-Béthune to Fouquereuil takes you along the Blanche to the Annezin marsh, then along the Lawe before walking above the water under a railway line!
This route will take you to the Fouquereuil storage slag heap (the Terril de la Cuisse Maraune) where you can enjoy a superb 360° panorama from the top. The return journey is through the fields.

Departure from Fouquereuil (Pas-de-Calais)
Long route through the urban area. Follow the Lawe and then the Brette to reach the Miner's Monument in Bruay. To return, head to Cité 4 in Bruay before reaching the Bois des Dames by following the PR® du Bois des Dames. Crossing the woods takes you to the slag heap before leading you to Emmaüs. From there, the return journey is via the Bois de la Sablière. There are many paths and "bus lanes" for a route that is passable even in wet weather.

Departure from Labeuvrière (Pas-de-Calais)
Up to the entrance to the Bois des Dames, the route is much the same as this hike (there aren't many options in the Bois de Roquelaure), but I took other paths to cross the Bois des Dames. The end of the route passes behind Emmaüs before reaching the Chartreuse des Dames and joining the Bois des Sablières.It's long, winding, almost entirely unpaved and with a significant elevation gain. Very difficult in wet weather.The use ofthe Visorando app is strongly recommended.

Moderate
Departure from Labeuvrière (Pas-de-Calais)
The route takes you through the two woods of Lapugnoy: Roquelaure, with its easy paths, followed by the Bois des Dames, where the trails can be very wet. I’ve tried to stick to the lesser-known paths, particularly in the Bois des Dames, which makes for a route that’s quite difficult to follow. I recommend using the Visorando app. Note: on OpenStreetMap, the paths are clearly marked.
The slag heap is very beautiful in spring when it’s covered in flax.

Departure from Verquin (Pas-de-Calais)
Of course, these aren’t the highest slag heaps in the region, but the two slag heaps at Verquin have remained very wild, and on the one at Labourse there’s enough space and paths to vary the route. This figure-of-eight route can easily be split into two circular loops of 6 to 8 km. It’s a fairly complicated route, which I’ve described in as much detail as possible. Nevertheless, I recommend using the app, particularly on the slag heaps: the one at Labourse has a large number of paths and you can easily alter the route.

Difficult
Departure from Bruay-la-Buissière (Pas-de-Calais)
This is a long walk in an urban area, but 90% of it is on paths. Start at the old bridge and its steps, then follow the Biette (a beautiful footbridge restored last year) to Ourton. Next, climb back up (unfortunately on the road) before descending to Beugin. Follow another bridge to the Divion Viaduct. There, a slightly tricky descent takes you back to the banks of the Lawe. Follow it first on the left bank, then on the right bank before following the bus route. And to finish in style, the Bois de la Volville, with a nice climb at the end.
