Belle randonnée dans les paysages de l'Artois et ses villages.

This is a reworking of an existing route, part of which has unfortunately disappeared due to lack of maintenance. The route through Aubignyen-Artois has also been modified to take the old, less busy streets, and a return trip to Villers-Châtel has been added to admire the church and castle.The circuit is done in the opposite direction to the signposting, which allows you to start with the most urban part.See practical information

The ideal time to visit this variant of Les Alouettes, with its beautiful vegetable gardens, magnificent hydrangea beds and a farmyard with a majestic and somewhat pretentious royal turkey.

A lovely walk starting from Servins, passing through Bouvigny-Boyeffles, Hersin-Coupigny and Verdrel. You’ll walk along stony, grassy paths and a few roads. You’ll enjoy several views of the surrounding countryside.

A lovely circular route through the countryside of Servins, Bouvigny-Boyeffles and Hersin-Coupigny, featuring lovely views and a passage beneath the large antenna. The route follows paths and a short stretch of road.

Ideal for a family walk, this route passes through the villages of Servins and Gouy-Servins. You’ll walk along grassy and stony paths, as well as tarmac roads. You’ll catch sight of the Bouvigny-Boyeffles mast and enjoy lovely views of the surrounding countryside.

Caucourt is a small village near Olhain.From the church, you cross pleasant plains and villages, especially on sunny days.Avoid this route in very hot weather, as it is not much shade; in rain or fog, the view won't be as good!... In the direction of the trail, you'll save the best until last, the Gué de Caucourt and its mill.

A long route through the hills of Pas-de-Calais, with 7 to 8 km through woodland (Bois de Mont and Bois de Mont-Saint-Éloi). The route has been designed using sections of marked trails to minimise the amount of tarmac. This is a fairly difficult hike, particularly in wet weather.

A very green route in the Artois hills, with two beautiful climbs and a minimum of roads. This route, which is already difficult, becomes very difficult in wet weather. I walked it on 25/02/2026 and some of the paths were barely passable.

This hike will take you through woods and plains, passing through the Bois Poret. You will then pass the British cemetery and the old train station before crossing the Bois des Baudets. Here you may encounter some beautiful wildlife.

This is a short route with little elevation gain, mainly on paths and trails.A big advantage in hot weather is that the start is in the open, but the end of the route is very shady.

This walk will introduce you to this charming village in Artois and its surroundings. Following good paths across the plains and through the woods, you will reach the entrance to Mont Saint-Éloi, with a view of the old abbey.

A long route with significant elevation gain and some fairly difficult paths.The path between (3) and (4) is very difficult but can be avoided. It was passable in late September 2025 (dry season).There are a few road crossings, but with very little traffic.

A short route, on paths that are more or less paved, pleasant in all seasons (except during very wet periods) with a passage at the Gué de Caucourt. 1- Hermin Town Hall advises against using the path between points (11) and (12) until the end of 2025. It is now April 2026 and nothing has changed: no works are underway and there are barriers on both sides. I have just walked along it and it is perfectly passable, though still treacherous.

This walk is loosely based on the "Sentier des Pierres du Diable" (Devil's Stone Trail), but allows you to discover, alongside the famous Devil's Stones, the magnificent Mont-Éloi Abbey, the Écoivres war cemetery, the churches of Écoivres, Acq and Mont Saint-Éloi, and the Acq mill.

Cette randonnée vous emmène dans la plaine de l'Artois et la vallée de la Scarpe.

A superb little walk to do in good weather. Ideal in hot weather, this walk offers both the comfort of the forest and beautiful views, as most of the path to Parc d'Olhain runs along the edge of the forest. Views and coolness, what a joy.

Walk in the Fresnicourt le Dolmen area Starting from Olhain Castle and heading towards the "Table aux Fées" dolmen, you will pass two sandstone crosses dating from the 13th and 16th centuries, then the hamlet of Verdrel and the Olhain State Forest with its leisure centre, before returning through the forest. Superb views over the plain and its villages. It is best to do this walk in dry weather as the paths can be difficult in wet conditions.

Randonnée qui va vous emmener sur les hauteurs de Bouvigny à travers bois et plaine. Faites un arret à l'oratoire entre le point 4 et 5

Lots of paths, a beautiful crossing of the Bois (with decent tracks) and a beautiful view as you reach the plateau (but frequent fog in autumn). 2021: I've gone back to the original route, which is more pleasant.
