Departure from Bouvigny-Boyeffles (Pas-de-Calais)
Lots of paths, a beautiful crossing of the Bois (with decent tracks) and a beautiful view as you reach the plateau (but frequent fog in autumn).
2021: I've gone back to the original route, which is more pleasant.

Departure from Angres (Pas-de-Calais)
The route starts from the town of Angres (in the Lens district), one of the former mining towns of the Hauts-de-France region. After a few hundred metres, you’ll leave the main urban ring road behind to enjoy the plains, valleys and forests of Artois.
You could also start this circular loop from (10) N-D de Lorette, or from (3) Aix-Noulette, or even from (14) Souchez. There are restaurants at each potential starting point. (See the practical information below).

Moderate
Departure from Beuvry (Pas-de-Calais)
A route through an urban area, mainly on paths. It takes you through the Domaine de Bellenville, the Terril and the Labourse ponds, as well as past the impressive Moulin du Ballon (or Moulin Buret).
In late October 2026, following the storm, there were fallen trees in the Domaine de Bellenville and they were not easy to get past. This was also the case at Labourse after point 15.

A very green route in the Artois hills, with two beautiful climbs and a minimum of roads.
This route, which is already difficult, becomes very difficult in wet weather. I walked it on 25/02/2026 and some of the paths were barely passable.
