Walk through the Artois Heights
A winding route offering superb views of the Artois heights and the Bléquin valley.
The Saint-Louis Chapel from Tournehem-sur-la-Hem
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.
From Moringhem to Quelmes
A pleasant, virtually roadless route, with the possibility of a pleasant break at the beautiful Quelmes café.
In the footsteps of Samer
Enjoy varied landscapes in the heart of the Samer countryside, with nature, local heritage and a bucolic atmosphere.
Discover the heritage of Samer
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.
From Landrethun-le-Nord to Caffiers via the Stinkal quarries
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.
The Lady of the Wolves Trail
South of Audruicq, discover Brédenarde, a land of hedgerows, hedges and fruit trees.
Starting from Zutkerque or Polincove, take the Dame aux Loups trail, named in honour of Baroness
de Draëck. You can admire her castle, the first hills of Artois and follow the winding course of the Hem, the river of mills.
Back to the Elnes hillside
This place is so beautiful that it deserves a second route.Another good climb with 2 nice climbs and a maximum of paths and trails.
Difficult in dry weather and very difficult in wet weather.
The marsh path in Nortkerque
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.
An uphill battle
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).
Around Muncq-Nieurlet
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.
Vallée de la Course and the lost valleys
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.
From Turkey to Fond Breton (in less than 10 km!)
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.
The Holque trail from Audembert
The Holque trail, starting from Audembert, is an ideal way to enjoy a magnificent panorama of the Deux-Caps countryside.
Cap Blanc-Nez and the heights of Sangatte
An invigorating seaside walk to the heights of Sangatte, via the cliffs of Cap Blanc-Nez. A walk combining nature and culture, in a place that has been awarded the Grand Site de France label since 2011. Numerous relics of the Second World War bear witness to the past, amid breathtaking scenery.
From the heights of Escalles to Cap Blanc Nez via the Napoleon Well
A magnificent hike to admire the ballet of ferries and ships of all kinds in the Strait of Dover. In good weather, you can admire the English coastline... Don't forget to take a look at the remains of the first shaft dug for the Channel Tunnel, work on which began in 1875 under Napoleon III.
Access to the Mont d'Hubert car park, the starting point for this hike, is now prohibited, so you must start from the car park at the bottom of the Cap Blanc Nez obelisk.
