***** a journey of discovery through beautiful nature

From the early 1970s, the development of the new town in this area took shape with the construction of the Heron Park and the Heron Lake. The former hunting lodge was converted into a house divided into two rental apartments. In 1973, the building was acquired by the Public Institution for the Development of the New Town of Lille-East. In December 1982, the building, which had suffered damage since the expropriation, was returned to the municipality of Villeneuve d'Ascq. At the end of 1983, the municipality decided to have the building completely restored by the Compagnons du Devoir (a French craft guild) as part of a training program.

Enjoy nature instead of the hustle and bustle.

Bad tarmac for inline skaters or longboarders. It is so much better along the Lys.

Very rolling, doable by mountain bike.

A smooth-running path, as is almost everywhere along the Marque River. Also doable by mountain bike.

As mentioned earlier, it's very smooth and can also be done by hybrid bike. Perfect for a bit of coolness in the summer.

Beautiful railway cycle path, too bad France isn't well connected. There are also roads across the border, so all cycle paths should be like that too.
