The Bietz tour in Aire-sur-Lys

A bucolic escape between Aire and Mametz
This route follows the path known as the Bruveau d’Aire-sur-la-Lys, with a few variations. It takes you to the Church of Saint-Vaast in Mametz via the Glomenghem marshes, then back to the hamlet of Moulin-le-Comte via the Chemin de Fauquenthun in the hamlet of Rincq.
Circuit d'Ecques par les landes
Leave Ecques via the same route, then take a long, flat walk through the fields to reach Heuringhem. Continue across the moors of Blendecques, Rietz de l'Église and Bibrou before reaching Quiestède via Les Bruyères. Return via the Bois d'Ecques.
The route is relatively flat, but there are a few wet areas (more depending on the weather). During hunting season, avoid Sundays, as some communal woods are rented to hunting clubs!
Route modified and improved in September 2024 to avoid the D 190.
The Surgeon hills
A short, undulating route offering beautiful views.
Between Lys and the Canal
The town of Aire-sur-la-Lys is crossed by the Lys river. It is bordered by the Neuffossé Canal, which takes the name Canal d'Aire at La Bassée, from this town onwards. The Bassin des Quatre Faces (Four Faces Basin) once allowed boats to turn around and sail in the desired direction: towards the town, the Lys, the canal towards Saint-Omer or Béthune. It is a signposted trail in the Pays de Saint-Omer urban community.
La Melde from Wittes
This route will allow you to discover the diversity of water in Wittes and Aire-sur-la-Lys. In Wittes, you will find the Melde, a tributary of the Lys. In Aire-sur-la-Lys, you will walk along the Lys, the Bassin des Quatre-Faces, the Ballastière ponds and the Canal de Neuffossé. This is a signposted trail maintained by the Communauté d'Agglomération du Pays de Saint-Omer.
Hugo Trail in Racquinghem
