Fun descent

You absolutely have to see it. The climb is worth it ;-)

Small hill over 500 meters through fields and woods, with a positive elevation gain of 26 meters.

From the top of a hill, the panorama from Mont-Saint-Eloi extends over the entire Scarpe valley and the Artois plain. The village is known for the ruins of its abbey, and the two towers dominate the surrounding landscape.

The two towers of Mont-Saint-Éloi dominate the Arras region. They can be seen from afar. They shape the landscape of the Artois plains. They are a landmark for those walking in the surrounding area. Located on a hill seven kilometers northwest of Arras, the two towers of Mont-Saint-Éloi are the monumental remains of an abbey with a thousand-year history. Listed as a historical monument since 1921 and owned by the Pas-de-Calais Department since 2008, the two towers are the subject of a scientific and cultural project to raise awareness and promote their heritage. Between 2010 and 2015, the Department carried out restoration work, and its archaeology department conducted six excavations.

historical places

It was in this village and that of Mérignies that the famous battle of Mons-en-Pévèle took place, on August 18, 1304, between the French army. Today the battles take place on the bike every April as the Paris Roubaix route passes through the village and its paved sector.
