nice photo but it's the village of Licques.

A magnificent little village whose town was laid out parallel to the Hem river. Its old center forms a medieval castle town. Once fortified, it was organized around a square and a castle known since the 13th century. In the 15th century, Tournehem Castle became the residence of the Dukes of Burgundy.

Located in the Hem Valley, Licques is renowned for the quality of its poultry. The turkey, which carries the label, is said to have been brought back from Santiago de Compostela by monks in the Middle Ages.

The Hem is a small river in Northern France. It rises in Surques, flows through Licques, Tournehem-sur-la-Hem, and flows into the Aa at Hennuin. The most important tributaries are the ruisseau de Loquin, the ruisseau de Sanghem, the ruisseau de Licques and the ruisseau de Bainghen.

Tournehem-sur-la-Hem (Dutch: Doornem) is a commune in the Pas-de-Calais department in the Hauts-de-France region in northwestern France. The commune is part of the arrondissement of Saint-Omer.

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.
