A Brief History Note. Roucourt Castle was built at the end of the 18th century by Monsieur Béranger, a cannon founder under the Empire. …During World War I, the castle was occupied by the squadron and men of Captain Baron Von Richthofen, known as the "Red Baron," who sheltered his planes in the avenue of over 100-year-old lime trees that precede the entrance gate. Destroyed by fire in 1918, it was rebuilt between 1921 and 1923 and restored in 1997 by Colette and Guy Becquet de Mégille, the current owners.

In the middle of the flat roads of the region, the Erchin pass is a delight for punchers. The climb remains accessible, however. It was not listed when the Tour de France passed through in 2022.

Relatively easy cobblestone strip, which is neat. Especially in Paris Roubaix (with its 3 extremely difficult 5-star sections, it's nice to have a normal one every now and then. Like this one. The nature/environment is somewhat desolate, so that won't warm you up :)

The Canal de la Sensée is a canal in northern France. The project was developed under Napoleon. In March 1806, the Imperial government ordered the construction of a canal connecting the Scarpe and the Scheldt. Work began under the direction of Augustin Honnorez in June 1819 and the Canal de la Sensée was opened to navigation in November 1820. Back then, the boats were pulled by men or horses who worked for ship owners. Shortly after World War I 1914-1918, horses were replaced by tractors. The Canal de la Sensée is part of the Dunkirk - Scheldt Canal.
