A veritable green lung of Calais, the Guînes state forest covers nearly 785 hectares. The numerous pine forests were planted there after World War II to reforest an area destroyed by the German army.

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.

A nice climb but very pleasant in summer

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.

Here we find the start of the Mille monts trail, a loop of 27 kilometers and approximately 600 meters of elevation gain, in Pas-de Calais. The route is very pleasant, slightly hilly, perfect for enjoying mountain biking.
