A long stroll across flat land with a nice climb at the end. Only two slightly difficult sections, so it's an ideal walk in autumn and winter. The walk starts on a small road with few houses and therefore little traffic, before crossing Le Bizet via Les Voyettes. The route then continues along the canal and the beautiful Pont Bayart bridge, which is reserved for non-motorised traffic, then past a few ponds with facilities for welcoming storks, before ending at the Bois de Ploegsteert.
