A beautiful route around Lucheux, best done in dry weather, as theGR®124is in very poor condition (and poorly marked!) in the forest.
You may see deer and wild boar.
This route replaces the old one, the western section of which is now impassable.

Departure from Lucheux (Somme)
I have tried to revive an old marked trail (and kept its name) which, like many in the area, has completely disappeared (the Somme CDRP seems rather ineffective and, moreover, is unreachable).
It is a route with virtually no roads, but crossing the Forest of Lucheux is very difficult as many of the paths are badly damaged. Fortunately, the GR® markings are clear there.
So, a difficult route, even very difficult after rain: in good condition on 19 April 2026, apart of course from the section through the forest where the ‘path’ is in a terrible state.

A route around Lucheux, largely following the ‘Lucheux and its Forest’ circular route, which starts from Sus-Saint-Léger. As noted in the description of that circular route, it is best to undertake this walk in dry weather, as the sectionof the GR®124in the forest is in very poor condition. However, it is fairly easy to bypass the impassable sections, or even avoid this stretch altogether.
