The Carrière des Peupliers in Abscon is a former chalk and marl quarry used to produce lime for the USINOR factory in Denain. These industrial activities have significantly changed the landscape of the Denaisis plain. After the end of the industrial activities, the land was transferred to the Nord department. Today, the area is an interesting place for nature lovers and offers a unique insight into the industrial history of the region.

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.

Very nice area at the edge of the water and quiet for hiking!

Magnificent stroll to do at the edge of the water.

Very calm setting at the water's edge, ideal for a family walk.

The place is really pretty. It is equipped to park, and there is something to put down, have a picnic. The edge of the water ("the Bordeaux" :-) are also arranged, in cycle track, and lends itself well to jogging.

Nice natural space, with a very good surface for the practice of Gravel.
