Canal de Bergues walks

Immortalised by the film "Bienvenue chez les Ch'tis", the small town of Bergues is much more than just a film set. Bergues is a small fortified town: its ramparts, over 5 km long, date back to medieval times or were built according to Vauban's plans. Bergues also stands out for its remarkable monuments, such as its belfry, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2005, and the remains of Saint-Winoc Abbey.

An easy route in the heart of the city of Vauban and Bienvenue chez les Ch'tis.

As part of the Parcours du Coeur 2023, the CCAS France Services de Bergues offers a 15 km walking route. You will walk around the ramparts of the town of Bergues, then follow the Canal de Bergues; after crossing the Bois des Forts, you will return to your starting point: the Foyer Socio Éducatif.

Bergues, the capital of the North since the film "Bienvenue chez les Ch'tis", invites you to discover its unique fortified complex dating from the 13th to the 19th century via an easy heritage walk.
