La Carrière de Craie de Bray is a quarry in the municipality of Mont-Saint-Éloi. It is a popular place for hikers and nature lovers because of its beautiful surroundings. The hills around Mont-Saint-Éloi consist of a thick layer of secondary-age chalk, formed by the accumulation of skeletons of marine animals when Artois was submerged in a shallow sea.

Too bad the site is poorly maintained but it deserves a moment's attention.
