ドゥヴランのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

For cyclists and walkers alike.

This path provides access to the Pimont Massif which separates Béthune and Varenne. Be careful, the slope is steep with 100m of elevation gain. You will have beautiful views of the Béthune valley before entering the woods which are part of the Eawy national forest.

At this point, you straddle the Béthune. This river has its source in the town of Gaillefontaine at an altitude of 205m. After a journey of 65 km, it joins the Varenne then the Eaulne at Arques-la-Bataille where their confluence creates the Arques.

You walk on the green avenue. 40 km long, this route echoes a long Franco-British history. In 1873, a railway was built to provide access between London and Paris via the Dieppe - Newhaven shipping line. This connection is still relevant, no longer by train, but by bike!

At the entrance to Saint-Aubin-le-Cauf, along the greenway, you can access a picnic area with a shelter and an inflation station.

La Chatellenie, an 18th century castle, was built on the foundations of an 11th century feudal castle. In 1596, Henry IV, wounded at the Battle of Aumale, was treated by Claude Groulard to whom he donated the castle. The estate remained the property of this family for 250 years before changing owners several times. The estate now houses gîtes and guest rooms.
