The upper reaches of Coupigny

At the start, a short walk around the ponds is a must. The walk then descends towards Hersin, passing the town hall and its green walls. You then need to cross the park before reaching the Coron Béclet. After that, head back up towards the ponds. The route follows paths and a short stretch of tarmac.

Thank you for your feedback. I try to offer a variety of walks, but this isn’t always easy depending on the starting points.

We went on this walk this Sunday morning. We loved it. It combines village and countryside with lovely discoveries and beautiful views.
You never get bored along the way and we’ll happily do it again.
Thanks to the person who designed it.
