ポン＝ア＝マルクのおすすめツーリングルート

One of my favorite strips. Be careful in the bends. Too fast and you're in the fields, but too slow and you come to a complete standstill.

The church owes its name to the Abbey of Saint-Quentin-en-L'Isle, located on the outskirts of the town of Saint-Quentin. The first written mention of it dates back to 1442, when the inhabitants declared that they were taxed for its reconstruction. It is a hall church with three wide ribs, each covered with a gable roof, and gables pierced by tall windows. Numerous conflicts have damaged the building, such as in 1641 during the Thirty Years' War when French soldiers burned it down. The interior and exterior of the church have undergone several restorations over the centuries. There were once three bells. During the Revolution, in 1793, two of them were placed in the Magasins de la République in Lille. The third remained in service to announce important events in the town. However, on June 6, 1795, transported with joy by the announcement of the peace treaty between France and Prussia, the young people of the commune rang with such force that the bell broke.

Beautiful little passage through the woods along the mark. The path leads to the Warlet marsh.

kasseistrook / paved Parix-Roubaix Rue Pont Thibault.

A nice section of Voie Verte, a hint of small roads, a good bit of forest (Marchiennes) and a return via the old Scarpe towpath to complete the loop. Itinerary accessible to all. However, some sections may become muddy in the event of rain.

Such a great affinity for bikes and then such bad bike paths all over the country. I have to smile about the picture, but unfortunately not about the infrastructure.

a real horror on a road bike, one wonders how the pros do it

Very pretty farm on the edge of the Marque
