Athies walks

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

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.

This flat hike will take you from Bailleul-sir-Berthout to the villages of Gavrelle and Oppy, along good paths. Bailleul was completely destroyed during the First World War. In 1833, Minister Guizot passed a law requiring all municipalities to have a school.

This walk will take you through the plains and woods of the Arrageois region, which marked the limit of the German advance during the First World War. The marker can be seen on the RD 939. From Monchy, the Germans bombarded Arras, destroying the belfry.

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.

You will discover the villages of Thélus, Willerval, and Farbus. These three villages are less than 10 km from Vimy and its Canadian First World War memorial, which is well worth a visit to complement this hike.

Hiking through the marshes of Biache - Saint-Vaast, Plouvain Roeux and Pelves.

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.

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

Peu de goudron sur ce parcours qui permet d'arpenter les chemins du Bois des Bruyères et de faire le tour du Terril de Pinchonvalles. J'ai dû changer le départ car le beau chemin qui partait à gauche dans la Rue de l'Église est pour le moment (???) en chantier : nouveau lotissement en construction. Malgré toutes les promesses, on continue à bétonner les villes. Prions Ste Godasse et St Croquenot pour que ce chemin réapparaisse après les travaux.

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 short hike for the whole family. Starting from the old station, you will walk to Ablain-Saint-Nazaire, passing in front of the old church and along the Souchez. This hike can be enjoyed in all seasons.

During this walk, you'll enter a beautiful region that was devastated by the 1st World War. More than 180,000 people lost their lives during the Battle of Artois, which began in May-June 1915. This walk starts at the edge of a cemetery where 44,000 soldiers of all origins are buried. Many more are, and will remain, buried forever beneath the beautiful landscapes you're about to cross.
