La Quercitaine
Starting from the charming village of Cahon, nestled in the Trie valley, this lovely walk will take you to Quesnoy-le-Montant before returning along pleasant paths through woods and pastures to your starting point. The inhabitants of Quesnoy-le-Montant are called Quercitains, hence the name of this walk. As for Cahon, the starting and finishing village, you will find a flour mill that is still in operation and produces flour, one variety of which is reserved for the "Avocette" baguette sold in Quesnoy-le-Montant, but also in other bakeries in the Somme. In short, this is a gastronomic and heritage walk.

Le rideau de Favery, short version
Rideau: a rather local term for a hedge of copses to break the wind, which is commonly found on this hilly route in the heart of the green Vimeu region. There are some lovely stretches along the banks of the Trie and a ford near the Chaussoy manor house that is well worth admiring before tackling a steep climb through the undergrowth. This route is signposted by the local council, but this version is a shortened one.
Tœufles circular loop via the Sources de la Trie

A short walk around Fressin with a few climbs through lovely scenery. Head up through the Fressin woods, cross the Planquette, and walk across the plateau where you can take some lovely photos of Fressin Castle, which you’ll get a closer look at on the way back.
Well-marked yellow trail. Some might say there’s no point in describing marked trails, but for me it’s important to share them with the community.
