The Prémesques countryside

fr

Prémesques, the starting village, is at the edge of the suburbs, close to Lomme and Pérenchies.
This humble asphalt route could nonetheless satisfy joggers and provide plenty of fresh air for walkers. What else could you ask for?
If you set off at daybreak, you might see a few partridges fly in, encounter a few rabbits and maybe even some hares.

There are benches for breaks at the beginning and end of the route, but unfortunately not in the middle.

Please take care when travelling on the roads.

There are no muddy paths, so you can go in trainers even in very wet weather.

Nice environment, but a bit too much tarmac for me. There were no country lanes where I could set my dog free without running the risk of running into a car, so I had to go out into the fields so that he could run around a bit.

Thank you for the tour.
Done with 2 small children on bikes / adults on foot in winter.
3 hours in this configuration.
No difficulties.

Some pleasant sections but essentially uninteresting because of traffic and unattractive scenery. Perhaps more enjoyable in another season?

A beautiful walk accessible to all ... On tarmac roads, so it's passable even in wet weather ... The duration is a little exaggerated - I did it in 2 hours without stopping ...

Very beautiful course, to be made in any time except a place of 200 meters where it can be a little muddy, very resting, being able to be lengthened there by including the turn of the base of leisure, very close.

An excellent short walk in the countryside close to the town, which is perfect in these confined times.

Very well signposted route in the peace and quiet of the countryside, very pleasant bird song. Before the last stage, a children's playground with very clean toilets and benches. Highly recommended

Hello lLAD
The software does not take real time. It is based on a pace of 3.5km/hour. In fact, 2 hours is enough.
Good day to you.

Hello,
My wife and I were looking for a "clean" hike, so we set off on this one. It's all tarmac, but there are some nice little roads. The route offers a variety of landscapes. No hikers, given the time of year and the temperature. The walking time of 3 hours seemed excessive to us, without running we took 2 hours, I think 2 hours 30 minutes would be the right time. To conclude, given the weather and the state of the soggy paths, this is the ideal walk to stretch your legs.

Hello Xtof5975!
Yes, it's true that there aren't enough paths.
The day I did this route I thought I'd make it an itinerary for rainy days.
But there is a possible path for about 1.2 km.
(2) When you reach point 2, turn left.
-150m further on take the path on the right
Cross the railway line
You pass a riding school
You pass a campsite
Turn left and you're back on the marked itinerary.
Wishing you a very good day

A good view of the countryside north-west of Lille, with interesting forays into former battlefields from the 14-18 war. It's hard to imagine the violence of the fighting in such peaceful places today. I appreciated the historical landmarks in 2 places. With the exception of a few dirt tracks, this walk would be perfect. In any case, it's ideal for getting your legs back in shape.
