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 friendly walk to discover Samer's heritage: its iconic sites, typical landscapes and local treasures, combining nature and history. The route is easily accessible for people with pushchairs and/or pets.

A very pretty tour around the villages of Beussent, Montcavrel and Enquin-sur-Baillon. Very varied landscapes with small roads and farm tracks. An easy but challenging hike. You will have the chance to see different aspects of the Course valley, with its cress farms still in operation. Pleasant picnic stop in Enquin sur Baillon (shaded table) or Beussent, near the river. The departure point is Enquinehaut because the descent to the Course is splendid. You will see pretty lost valleys.

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.

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 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.

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.

A succession of small roads and paths for a day in the great outdoors.The icing on the cake: a good elevation gain with a superb climb in the Bois de Fressin. For very experienced hikers, I highly recommend the alternative route described in the practical information section.
