La Rouge Croix from Ablain-Saint-Nazaire

This hike will take you through Carency, Mont-Saint-Éloi and its ancient abbey on good paths.
A bit of history: in 1727, an oratory dedicated to Notre-Dame-de-Lorette was built on Mont Coquaine, which has now become a necropolis with the Anneau de la Mémoire (Ring of Remembrance).
