A lovely little stroll after visiting the Louvre Lens.
As someone who lives in the countryside, I really enjoyed this little green oasis in Lens, particularly the start of the route with the former mine headframe converted into a greenway.
If you fancy going a bit further, you can carry on to the centre of Lens.
