This route is busier in the first section (along the River Lys) but is also the most pleasant, as the final stretch takes you through the town; the route is well signposted; the small public garden is quite pleasant; a lovely walk for the whole family.

Summer 2024: please note that a large section of the route is under construction (after point 1) and the bridge crossing the La Lawe between points 1 and 2 has simply been demolished. It’s a shame, as this is the most natural and prettiest part of the route. The section running alongside the Lys isn’t the most pleasant, as there are few trees and it’s wedged between the river and factory backyards.

A second, very urban section that is less interesting than the first, which follows the Lawe and the Lys.

The first part of the route is pleasant, though the return route through the town centre is a little less so.

Good points: some beautiful early 20th-century houses, the park at the start of the route, the car park, the picnic area next to the car park, the towpath.

Not so good: the return route through the town,

The route starts with a loop around a municipal park, and the surroundings aren’t particularly pleasant or reassuring. I didn’t really enjoy it.

A pleasant walk that I combined with the short Magots route to minimise the amount of tarmac I had to walk on (avoiding Rue de la Gendarmerie as much as possible, as it’s of no interest whatsoever)
