Up to the entrance to the Bois des Dames, the route is much the same as this hike (there aren't many options in the Bois de Roquelaure), but I took other paths to cross the Bois des Dames. The end of the route passes behind Emmaüs before reaching the Chartreuse des Dames and joining the Bois des Sablières.It's long, winding, almost entirely unpaved and with a significant elevation gain. Very difficult in wet weather.The use ofthe Visorando app is strongly recommended.

Departure from Labeuvrière (Pas-de-Calais)
The route takes you through the two woods of Lapugnoy: Roquelaure, with its easy paths, followed by the Bois des Dames, where the trails can be very wet. I’ve tried to stick to the lesser-known paths, particularly in the Bois des Dames, which makes for a route that’s quite difficult to follow. I recommend using the Visorando app. Note: on OpenStreetMap, the paths are clearly marked.
The slag heap is very beautiful in spring when it’s covered in flax.

A lovely walk that takes you through the Bois des Dames State Forest, with its rich biodiversity and a good climb, returning via Labeuvrière and passing over the slag heap. A bit of mining history: in 1920, many Polish workers arrived in Lapugnoy, where they were forced to build the barracks to house themselves.

Long route through the urban area. Follow the Lawe and then the Brette to reach the Miner's Monument in Bruay. To return, head to Cité 4 in Bruay before reaching the Bois des Dames by following the PR® du Bois des Dames. Crossing the woods takes you to the slag heap before leading you to Emmaüs. From there, the return journey is via the Bois de la Sablière. There are many paths and "bus lanes" for a route that is passable even in wet weather.

Departure from Bruay-la-Buissière (Pas-de-Calais)
This is a long walk in an urban area, but 90% of it is on paths. Start at the old bridge and its steps, then follow the Biette (a beautiful footbridge restored last year) to Ourton. Next, climb back up (unfortunately on the road) before descending to Beugin. Follow another bridge to the Divion Viaduct. There, a slightly tricky descent takes you back to the banks of the Lawe. Follow it first on the left bank, then on the right bank before following the bus route. And to finish in style, the Bois de la Volville, with a nice climb at the end.
