Arras walks

This walk will introduce you to Arras, starting along the Scarpe river. You will then continue through the town and admire its monuments, from the citadel to the execution wall, the belfry and the main square.

Venez découvrir les village de Fampoux, Feuchy et Athies en passant par les bois, étangs et marais.

Très belle randonnée autour de Wailly en passant par la Plaine au Crichon.

The route is in a very urbanised area, but it is almost always on paths and it is pleasant to follow a river for so long.Apart from the length, it is not too difficult.For enthusiasts, there are numerous information panels, first between Agny and Wailly, then in Rivière. In the past, you used to see lots of deer at the start of the walk (near the "Le Marché à Dieu" woods), but I haven't seen any since the Rocade Sud was built.

An easy hike on beautiful paths that will take you through Simencourt and Berneville. Warlus was the seat of a seigneury before the revolution. This hike in the plains, with a few wooded sections, is ideal for families.

Près de l'agglomération d'Arras, une balade champêtre.Beaucoup de chemins et de petites routes peu carrossables. Pour pimenter un peu le circuit, j'ai ajouté une partie du sentier de la Vignette (en sens inverse donc pas de balisage) qui permet de faire le tour du Bois de Vimy. Ce parcours est assez difficile mais fort plaisant et maintenant bien entretenuCe circuit peut être shunté, pour un gain d'environ 4 km.

This walk starts in Écoivres, a hamlet in Mont-Saint-Éloi, and takes you through the surrounding villages. Don't forget to visit the Droites Pierres (Straight Stones), or Pierres du Diable (Devil's Stones) according to legend, and climb up to the old abbey.

This short hike around Vimy, between the town, voyettes (small streets in local dialect) and plains, will give you a different perspective on our beautiful region, its heritage and its memory of the Great War

This site represents Canada's most impressive memorial to its citizens who fought and gave their lives in the First World War. A strategic high point, offering breathtaking views of the coalfield and Artois hills.

This walk is loosely based on the "Sentier des Pierres du Diable" (Devil's Stone Trail), but allows you to discover, alongside the famous Devil's Stones, the magnificent Mont-Éloi Abbey, the Écoivres war cemetery, the churches of Écoivres, Acq and Mont Saint-Éloi, and the Acq mill.

This walk from Carency takes you through Villers-au-Bois between plains and woods without any great difficulty. Carency was a seigneury until around 1620, then became a barony until 1665 before becoming a marquisate.

Hike through plains and woods, passing by the Canadian Memorial, which you can visit, as well as the museum and the trenches (by reservation).

This local hike starting from La Pyramide will take you around Souchez along good paths. You will walk along the Souchez river and then climb up to the site of Notre-Dame de Lorette before returning to the village via Parc Cassin.

A fairly classic route around Mont-Saint-Éloi (the area is very well signposted), with three less-travelled sections to Villers-au-Bois. It's a bit winding (not intuitive, as one of my friends always says), but it allows you to take a few less-frequented paths.

This walk will introduce you to this charming village in Artois and its surroundings. Following good paths across the plains and through the woods, you will reach the entrance to Mont Saint-Éloi, with a view of the old abbey.
