Old Canal via Morlies, starting from Your Nature
Walk through the hamlet of Morlies and along a short stretch of the Vieux Canal.
On the banks of the Nimy Canal in Peronnes
A walk along the towpaths of the new and old canals from Nimy to Péronnes.
At the start, you can admire the two giant locks that have replaced the eight locks that you will then pass as you walk down the old canal.
Admire the old lock houses on the old canal.
However, be careful in strong winds between points (8) and (9) as the trees are fragile and it is best to avoid this section.
The entire hike is on tarmac or paved paths.
Wiers – Belœil
Starting from the random point given at the end of the previous stage, we will explore the Belgian-French border region in southern Hainaut, moving back and forth between France and Belgium, including the curious town of Bon-Secours with its cathedral situated right on the border. This stage ends in the municipality of Belœil at a holiday let booked for the occasion.
Tournai – Wiers
Setting off to explore the Pierre Brunehaut, an imposing menhir in the Hollain area, requires a detour; but for enthusiasts of megalithic sites, it is a detour well worth taking. To reach it, the walk follows the old Tournai–Cambrai Roman road, then crosses a small section of French territory to reach Belgium at Wiers.
Pont de l'Imbécile
Take a short trip to Château-l'Abbaye along the Scheldt and Scarpe rivers to cross the Pont de l'Imbécile bridge!
From Taintignies to Lac du Héron
Gravel or hybrid bike route from Taintignies to the Marais de Fretin and Lac du Héron. The route is mainly on tarmac at the start, then there are quite a few ‘white’ tracks. A very lovely ride, with Lac du Héron as the highlight.

Circular walk around Froyennes
A walk to discover Froyennes (church, Château Beauregard, Saint-Éloi fountain, watermill) and the surrounding area. Please note: muddy paths in wet weather!
Circular route from Mont-Saint-Haubert
The iconic hill of Tournaisis and its slopes offer panoramic views and trails or paths that you can walk, run or climb. Your steps will take you through countryside dotted with hamlets and farms towards the Scheldt and its Léaucourt cut (a former meander of the river). You will discover a discreet and modest countryside that is not lacking in charm.
Coqueréaumont – Pecq
With this fourth stage, it’s time to tackle the westernmost part of the Tour de Wallonie as you head towards the Scheldt, but not before climbing the area’s toughest hill, Mont-Saint-Aubert.
Around Landas
Discover the beauty of the countryside around Landas on a picturesque walk that will take you through the charming streets, lanes and paths of this delightful village in the Pévèle region. This walk is suitable for everyone and offers a chance to relax in the heart of the countryside.
The Ramegnies-Chin circular route
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.
Circular Chabaud-Latour in Bonsecours
This circular route connects the Chabaud-Latour Pond to the Bonsecours Forest in Péruwelz. Along the route, you can see the Fosse Ledoux headframe and its slag heap, the Bernissart Fire Machine and the Basilica of Our Lady of Bon-Secours in Péruwelz.
Pecq – Tournai
The fifth stage is short and straightforward to describe. Starting from Pecq, it runs to Tournai, following the Scheldt. It is by no means monotonous, however, as the river lies on one side, whilst the scenery on the other side is ever-changing. And the centre of Tournai is well worth a visit.
Mare à Goriaux circuit
This route takes you through the mythical 'Trouée d'Arenberg' (Arenberg gap), the venue for the Paris-Roubaix race, and then on to the Mare à Goriaux bird sanctuary.
Trails in the Pays des Collines towards Buquet
Village lanes and footpaths starting from the Maison du Parc du Pays des Collines. Very quiet village roads where you’ll come across various animals (cows, meadows with magnificent horses, goats, peacocks, chickens, etc.). Dogs must be kept on a lead, except on the footpaths (watch out for cats, which are often found on the footpaths in this area).
