A pleasant hike starting from Martin-Église, a charming village crossed by the Eaulnes river, with pretty houses to discover along the way. You can take a short detour to explore its natural area. Pass through the magnificent Arques forest with its beech trees. Descend into the Varenne valley and its ponds, with lovely views. Return through the Arques forest via the Obelisk.
