Tips
The Trouée d'Arenberg is a 2.3 km long paved path located in the Raismes-Saint-Amand-Wallers forest in northern France. This path is famous for being part of the Paris-Roubaix cycle race, where it is considered the most difficult section of the route. The cobblestones are uneven and slippery, and the path is often muddy and wet, but you will also enjoy the historic and natural scenery of the former mining region, where you can see the old railway bridge and the wildlife of the forest. The Trouée d'Arenberg is not for the faint-hearted, but it is a unique and rewarding experience for those who dare.
