カンパーニュ・レス・ギーヌのおすすめツーリングルート

Rode this part yesterday with a road bike and regretted it even though my bike survived. Probably best suited with a MTB because of the rocky nature of the descent.

Located 15 kilometers from Calais, this small town boasts a rich historical heritage. It was not far from here that Francis I and Henry VIII met for the "Interview at the Field of the Cloth of Gold." In 1785, its national forest also served as the landing site for the first flight over the sea. Don't miss the Clock Tower in its center.

Very pleasant woods. Affordable, fun and sporty mountain bike trail.

very pleasant route in summer

You only get these beautiful panoramas if you also conquer the slopes 😉

Small church without appearance, but curious for certain details: 19th century nave mounted on old foundations, central tower and choir, this one built in the 16th century and vaulted. The bell tower is unfinished or destroyed in the upper parts and has only one floor, which corresponds to the refuge room raised above the sanctuary.

According to ancient authors, Bouquehault was a seigneury in the Middle Ages, and the lord of Bouquehault, sometimes referred to as forming a single entity with Hames, under the name of Hames-Bouquehault, was one of the barons, that is to say great vassals, of the county of Guînes18. In the 18th century, the seigneury of Bouquehault belonged to a member of the Calonne family. Monuments: The Saint-Omer church; The war memorial; The mill.

The tower has been perched on the hill of the feudal motte-and-bailey castle since 1763 and offers a view of Calais, the Côte d'Opale, the Flemish plain and the bocage around Boulogne. At its foot is an interactive museum dedicated to the past of Guînes: the arrival of the Vikings, the founding of the city by Sifrid around 800, the meeting at the Camp du Drap d'Or.
