Sapignies walks

A memorial hike through iconic sites of the Battle of the Somme (July-November 1916). Several military cemeteries line the route, with the Ulster Tower and the imposing Franco-British memorial adding a solemn touch.

A pleasant walk along narrow country lanes that will take you to Sailly-au-Bois and then Colincamps before bringing you back to Hébuterne. Walking boots are recommended in wet weather.

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.

Très belle randonnée autour de Wailly en passant par la Plaine au Crichon.

A memorial hike in territory that became Canadian after the First World War, in tribute to the soldiers from the island of Newfoundland who were engaged here on the day the Battle of the Somme began (1 July 1916) and of whom the vast majority were killed or wounded. A moving, well-maintained route with well-preserved remains.

This list includes several hikes that pay tribute to soldiers of all nationalities who fought in the First World War. More than a century later, certain remnants still bear witness to the appalling conditions in which they lived. In the list, these hikes are classified according to the front line, from north to south and then from west to east.

This walk starting from Rivière will take you through the plains and woods towards L’Alouette before returning via the Fossé de Berles and the Fossé à l’Eau. You can admire Saint-Vaast Church, a listed historic monument.

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.

A short memorial hike to visit the most impressive mine crater of the Great War, the result of an explosion that took place on 1 July 1916, the day the Battle of the Somme began. A well-maintained memorial site with numerous information panels.

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 hike on beautiful paths that will take you through Simencourt and Berneville. Warlus was the seat of a seigneury before the revolution. This hike in the plains, with a few wooded sections, is ideal for families.

Hiking through the marshes of Biache - Saint-Vaast, Plouvain Roeux and Pelves.

A very pleasant hike in one of the meanders of the Somme, along its canalised section and several ponds where you can observe many birds. Three-quarters of the way along the route, the Vaux viewpoint offers a superb panorama of the area you have covered.

A leisurely walk of less than two hours on flat terrain in a natural, sparsely built-up environment. It partly follows the route of another walk I really like, but in the opposite direction, which offers a different perspective: Hamel and its marshes, a little piece of Canada
