Hike completed on foot on 15 August between two showers in silence, given the few people encountered.
The route is completely flat except for the end in the forest.
Best done by bike because on foot, the straight lines along the canals become endless, but it's a beautiful example of flat country.

⚑Departure from Oye-Plage (Pas-de-Calais)
A very long time ago, the sea covered this area at high tide, but the ingenuity of the Benedictine monks inthe 10th century led to the construction of a network of drainage channels: the watergangs. This area, with its light, sandy soil, is ideal for growing chicory. Large buildings made of yellow or red brick were once used to dry chicory roots. The people made the most of this gift from Mother Nature by building mills.
