Courset walks

Lovely family outing in the Desvroise countryside, on small paved country roads.Passes close to streams, forests, villages and farms.

Enjoy varied landscapes in the heart of the Samer countryside, with nature, local heritage and a bucolic atmosphere.

A winding route offering superb views of the Artois heights and the Bléquin valley.

A mix of surprising landscapes: a faux medieval castle, a forest of deciduous and coniferous trees, then you come out at the top of a dune overlooking the beach. Most of the walk is in the shade and there is a beach for picnics.

A very hilly route over the Artois heights. A great sporting outing with beautiful scenery.

From Hardelot, the trail continues along the beach. It temporarily leaves the beach to cross the Mont Saint-Frieux dune. At Camier, it leaves the coast to join the trail that crosses the Baie de Canche Nature Reserve, offering a beautiful view of the bay. It then descends to the Canche estuary, which it follows up to Étaples.

It's a route that will delight altitude enthusiasts (Carto exploreur and the Visorando app suggest it's as high as 500m). What's more, the views are stunning. Route slightly modified in November 2019. All trails are very good as of May 14, 2020 (even if some are very grassy).

Easy hike in two loops, discovering the Baie de la Canche and its nature reserve, through dune woods with lovely views over the bay and Le Touquet in the first part, then through marshes and the bay, with access to the beach. Return through a wild cherry wood.

A short but fairly strenuous route with a steep hill and some very grassy paths. On 12/08/2025: the start of the trail is once again very overgrown (brambles and nettles). It's passable but it's best to wear trousers or good gaiters and, of course, bring a walking stick or even a pair of secateurs.

Come and discover the rich flora, fauna and history surrounding the Chartreuse de Neuville, one of the largest Carthusian monasteries in France. Along the way, you will find the ingredients for Larmes-de-Notre-Dame-des-Prés, a liqueur traditionally made by the monks.To start or finish your hike, you will receive a warm welcome for a tour of the Chartreuse de Neuville.Find opening times and news on the Chartreuse website.

A bucolic hike along the pure, fish-filled waters of the Canche, starting at La Citadelle, whose Royal Castle dates back to the 13th century. You'll start by walking along the ramparts. You'll pass through the marshes and stroll along the banks of La Canche. You may come across fishermen or sportsmen training at the Canoe-Kayak club.

A beautiful walk taking you through several natural environments: dunes, forests, beaches and cliffs.

A very nice walk, with no difficulties, through fields, a stretch of forest, the Bois de Beaulieu, where there used to be an abbey, and the discovery of the Stinkal quarry site: very careful during the week when there is a lot of lorry traffic. Unfortunately, you used to be able to take a small path along the railway line, which you took on the site of the quarries. Access to this path is now strictly forbidden, which means that you have to finish your walk on the tarmac from the quarries. This in no way detracts from the charm of the start of the walk.

A lovely walk through woods and hedged farmland to the pretty Chapelle Saint-Louis. It's a signposted trail run by the Communauté d'Agglomération du Pays de Saint-Omer.

A pleasant, virtually roadless route, with the possibility of a pleasant break at the beautiful Quelmes café.

Come and take a stroll in the Stella dunes, a very fragile Natura 2000 listed natural environment, to be explored with respect. Most of this trail is covered in sand. You'll discover three types of dunes (embryo, white and grey), with lovely panoramic views from the top. You'll walk alongside the sea and discover Bois Joly. A very fine hike, albeit a little physically demanding.

A loop from the old fort of Ambleteuse to Cap Gris Nez: go along the cliffs by the sea and return inland via the remains of blockhouses.

The Holque trail, starting from Audembert, is an ideal way to enjoy a magnificent panorama of the Deux-Caps countryside.

This trail takes you to one of the four villages of the Pays du Brédenarde, Nortkerque, which translates as "Church of the North". Geologically, the ancient Pays du Brédenarde is made up of a layer of clay overlying the chalk that dominates the coastal plain. It's a land of wooded countryside, hedgerows, fruit trees and livestock. In the past, Brédenarde also included the communes of Audruicq, Zutkerque and Polincove.

This easy circuit will take you to Mont de Couple, at an altitude of 163 metres, which offers a panoramic view of the pretty town of Wissant and the Gris-Nez and Blanc-Nez lighthouses. It uses some sections of the GR®128 and 145 trails.

Walk from Wissant, through fields and hamlets, to discover the coast and hinterland between Wissant and Cap Blanc-Nez. There are lovely views from the various hills along the way.

Located in a protected natural area, the Fartz trail, dotted with bird observatories, lets you discover all the flora and fauna of Wissant bay.

Start on the country side, across a field with Cap Blanc Nez in the distance behind you and the English cliffs on your right, in fine weather. Halfway along, take a break on the beach. Return to the top of the cliffs, where you'll appreciate all the notches and the panoramic view of Cap Gris Nez.26/06/2023 The hike has been modified because the passage is forbidden by the hole at Quette and the crossing of the Châtelet stream cannot be made anymore via the dunes.

This trail takes you through a wooded landscape at the edge of the Artois hills, interspersed with canals and watergangs. The varied relief offers a unique panorama, a superb walk with a breathtaking view.

A feeling of the beginning of the world on this immense beach on the Opal Coast.Get there by bus, then on foot via the GR®120. A real treat.
