Around Dehéries

From the tranquillity of Dehéries, the path winds its way through a mosaic of fields where soft green blends with the golden crops. The trails gently meander to Walincourt-Selvigny, the beating heart of the region, where the bell tower watches over the brick facades and lively little squares.

As you pass near Caullery, the countryside opens up to wide horizons, dotted with hedges and sunken paths that smell of the earth. Then comes Élincourt, nestled like a discreet haven, where the gentle landscapes invite you to slow down.

This itinerary combines rural authenticity and tranquillity, ideal for savouring the simple charm of the villages of the Cambrésis region.
