Saint-Léger (Pas-de-Calais) walks

A countryside walk that can be enjoyed in all weathers.

A short, relatively sheltered walk through the countryside and around quiet little villages, naturally more enjoyable in dry weather.

This walk will take you through the plains and woods of the Arrageois region, which marked the limit of the German advance during the First World War. The marker can be seen on the RD 939. From Monchy, the Germans bombarded Arras, destroying the belfry.

An easy walk on decent paths. Ideal for autumn as the paths seem to cope well with damp conditions. A few tarmac sections but virtually no motorised traffic. Passes near the Bois d'Adinfer, which is unfortunately private except for a short stretch of path on the way out of Adinfer. Little elevation gain. This walk can be completed in under 3 hours. The only potential issue is perhaps finding parking at the starting point (???)

Belle randonnée entre la plaine de l'arrageois et le long du Crinchon avec ses trois clochers achicourt wailly et agny

Boucle par Roeux et Biache-Saint-Vaast, entre lacs et marais.

The route is in a very urbanised area, but it is almost always on paths and it is pleasant to follow a river for so long.Apart from the length, it is not too difficult.For enthusiasts, there are numerous information panels, first between Agny and Wailly, then in Rivière. In the past, you used to see lots of deer at the start of the walk (near the "Le Marché à Dieu" woods), but I haven't seen any since the Rocade Sud was built.

Set off from Boursies and let yourself be carried away by a rural route that winds its way through farmland and the unspoilt silhouettes of small villages. As you reach Mœuvres, Demicourt, Doignies and then Louverval, each stage reveals a new picture: peaceful lanes, bell towers silhouetted against the horizon, fields stretching as far as the eye can see and hedges rustling in the wind. This route, ideal for exploring on foot or by bike, invites you to savour the gentle landscapes and tranquillity of the less travelled paths. It is a slow-paced journey, where you will be surprised by the simple, authentic details that make the Cambrésis region so charming.
