Le chemin vert depuis Aubigny-en-Artois
Belle randonnée dans les paysages de l'Artois et ses villages.
The Chemin Vert in Aubigny-en-Artois
This is a reworking of an existing route, part of which has unfortunately disappeared due to lack of maintenance. The route through Aubignyen-Artois has also been modified to take the old, less busy streets, and a return trip to Villers-Châtel has been added to admire the church and castle.The circuit is done in the opposite direction to the signposting, which allows you to start with the most urban part.See practical information
Trail towards Caucourt Ford
Caucourt is a small village near Olhain.From the church, you cross pleasant plains and villages, especially on sunny days.Avoid this route in very hot weather, as it is not much shade; in rain or fog, the view won't be as good!...
In the direction of the trail, you'll save the best until last, the Gué de Caucourt and its mill.

Around Olhain
A long route with significant elevation gain and some fairly difficult paths.The path between (3) and (4) is very difficult but can be avoided. It was passable in late September 2025 (dry season).There are a few road crossings, but with very little traffic.
The Caucourt Ford
A short route, on paths that are more or less paved, pleasant in all seasons (except during very wet periods) with a passage at the Gué de Caucourt.
1- Hermin Town Hall advises against using the path between points (11) and (12) until the end of 2025. It is now April 2026 and nothing has changed: no works are underway and there are barriers on both sides. I have just walked along it and it is perfectly passable, though still treacherous.
Along the young Scarpe from Frévin-Capelle to Aubigny-en-Artois
During this walk of just over 8 km, you’ll walk in the shade alongside the Scarpe, which is still narrow here, and pass through three pretty villages with their white-stone farms and churches. You’ll also find a local pub, La Belle Époque, open every lunchtime except Tuesdays, opposite the town hall in Frévin-Capelle.
Circular Alouettes loop starting from Servins
The ideal time to visit this variant of Les Alouettes, with its beautiful vegetable gardens, magnificent hydrangea beds and a farmyard with a majestic and somewhat pretentious royal turkey.
Circular loop around the Servins mast
A lovely walk starting from Servins, passing through Bouvigny-Boyeffles, Hersin-Coupigny and Verdrel. You’ll walk along stony, grassy paths and a few roads. You’ll enjoy several views of the surrounding countryside.
Circular loop via the Bouvigny mast
A lovely circular route through the countryside of Servins, Bouvigny-Boyeffles and Hersin-Coupigny, featuring lovely views and a passage beneath the large antenna. The route follows paths and a short stretch of road.
Short circular loop: Servins – Gouy-Servins
Ideal for a family walk, this route passes through the villages of Servins and Gouy-Servins. You’ll walk along grassy and stony paths, as well as tarmac roads. You’ll catch sight of the Bouvigny-Boyeffles mast and enjoy lovely views of the surrounding countryside.
Circular walk around Olhain Park starting from Olhain Castle
From the car park, you’ll find yourself facing Olhain Castle, one of the most beautiful in the region. The rest of the walk alternates between stunning views and short stretches through the undergrowth (not too dense) before reaching the ‘esplanade’ of Olhain Park. You’ll find yourself facing an exceptional panorama.
If you’re lucky, you might see paragliders taking off (admittedly, this is quite rare), and why not visit during the hot-air balloon festival to watch these huge, colourful balloons take off right before your eyes.
Through the Olhain National Forest around Fresnicourt-le-Dolmen
Walk in the Fresnicourt le Dolmen area
Starting from Olhain Castle and heading towards the "Table aux Fées" dolmen, you will pass two sandstone crosses dating from the 13th and 16th centuries, then the hamlet of Verdrel and the Olhain State Forest with its leisure centre, before returning through the forest. Superb views over the plain and its villages.
It is best to do this walk in dry weather as the paths can be difficult in wet conditions.
Le Bois de Mont
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.
Circular walk through the woods of Parc d'Olhain from Verdrel.
A superb little walk to do in good weather. Ideal in hot weather, this walk offers both the comfort of the forest and beautiful views, as most of the path to Parc d'Olhain runs along the edge of the forest. Views and coolness, what a joy.
