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.

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’ll find great photo opportunities of Fressin Castle – a castle you’ll get to see up close on the way back.The path is well signposted in yellow. Some might say there’s no point in detailing signposted paths, but for me it’s important to share them with the community.

7h 55
Difficult
Departure from Fressin (Pas-de-Calais)
A long walk around the Planquette Valley, culminating in a traverse of the Hesdin Forest.
Not to mention the lovely paths around Cavron-Saint-Martin.
And, of course, I made sure not to skip the lovely climb up the Bois de Fressin, which is a real treat for the calves.
When I went there in early September 2023, the paths were in excellent condition, but the first rains will quickly wear them down and the walk will become very difficult.
Using the app makes finding your way much easier!
