Departure from Cousolre (Nord)
A walk for those nostalgic for the little mountains, with their valleys, plateaus and streams spanned by old stone bridges. A walk for lovers of calm and nature. And as a gift for children, lots of animals: hens, roosters, ducks, buzzards, goats, sheep and, with a little patience, squirrels and roe deer in the woods... A visit to the Tower will bring a hint of culture.

Legend has it that Charles V, on his way to Beaumont, was somewhat roughened up by three men from Auvergne. Upon arriving in town, they were recognised by the emperor, swiftly tried and immediately hanged.
One of them is said to have exclaimed: ‘Beaumont, city of misfortune: arrived at midday, hanged by one o’clock.’
On 14 June 1815, Napoleon and his troops, en route to Waterloo, spent the night in Beaumont.

Departure from Erquelinnes (Hainaut)
Here is a stage whose first section may put some people off. It covers the 12 kilometres along the N40 to Beaumont.
The scenery along the route changes gradually as you approach the Eau d’Heure lakes. The slopes become steeper as you get closer to your destination, the little village of Soumoy. The arrival point – and the starting point for the following day – is chosen at random.
