Park at Résidence les Aunelles, located at the crossroads of Rue Friquet and Rue du Moulin.
(S/E) Walk up Rue Friquet, pass under the bridge, then turn left onto the rural hedge path, Rue Friquet, then turn right onto the "Sentier Rural". At the end, turn left, then left again, and you will come to the old Valenciennes-Maubeuge railway line.
(1) Follow the old railway line to the right, which is sometimes covered by a canopy of hornbeam and hawthorn trees and sometimes offers views of the village of Wargnies-le-Grand, the Aunelle valley or the Bois de Wargnies. Continue to the paved path of the Gare.
(2) Turn left onto the RD129. After the Aunelle, turn right onto Rue de la Racque. 400 metres further on, the street climbs to the left at a right angle and leads to a crossroads. Continue straight ahead onto Rue des Bosquiaux.
Pass Grand Rue on your left, then Rue des Écoles and Rue du Paradis. At the end of the bend, pass Chemin du Grand Cavin on your right and you will arrive near the cemetery.
