Approximately 2.5 hours' walk, with a good part of it in marshland. Bring boots or high boots for the wet sections. We did it at the end of January. A pleasant route off the beaten track. No or very few vehicles on the small roads. We found a single bench halfway along the route.
The markings are discreet or even absent in some places. The GPS track is reliable.

Follow the route in a clockwise direction (opposite direction to the map), including a visit to the "Réserve Naturelle des Marais de Cambrin".
Between points 8 and 9, turn right into the woods and return to the road at point 9.

This route is only frequented at the start between 1 and 3.
The route is pretty but a little too tarmac for my liking, I would have preferred to stay more in the woods.
Otherwise very pleasant.
Thank you

A very interesting circuit of minor roads and wooded paths. At marker 6, parked cars obscure the sign and the entrance to the path.

Hello
We enjoyed the first half of the route, then I wanted to enter the Cambrian marshes before marker 8 by leaving the route and we had to do a lot of driving. We then reached marker 9 and the end of the route was very pleasant in beautiful sunshine.

Very pleasant. Alternating sun and shade. Lots of asphalt but on quiet little roads. The Bellenville estate is very interesting for its wetland biodiversity. Route marked in yellow, except for a small section in the estate between markers 8 and 9. It's best to follow the yellow signs there.

Nice walk with a pushchair. Lots of tarmac but ideal in wet weather. We particularly enjoyed exploring the Bellencourt estate.

A beautiful circuit that we started at LA BASSEE station by taking the Aire canal. The Colette path is not easy to find. A lot of tarmac but it's just as well at this time of year.Patrick and René
