Tips

Cycling

The Canal de la Deûle is one of the oldest canals in northern France and connects the river Scarpe at Douai with the river Lys at Deûlémont, near the Belgian border. The canal is approximately 34.8 km long and has 3 locks. Most of the canal is included in the high-quality Dunkerque-Escaut waterway, and the remaining section through the port of Lille is often considered a branch of the main route, hence the alternative names Liaison or Antenne Bauvin-Lys.

Pretty road along the Deûle.

Most of the path is very smooth and you can enjoy the few birds and (rarely) the sun reflecting in the water. Unfortunately it is very often spoiled by the discharges from factories or sewers which often bring a foul smell, especially when the water is stirred up by the few barges that pass by.
