End of the trip at this villa in Vitry en Artois

Towpath alternating between tarmac and fine gravel, fairly smooth. Perfect for a family stroll.

Most of the path is very smooth and you can enjoy the few birds and (rarely) the sun reflecting in the water. Unfortunately it is very often spoiled by the discharges from factories or sewers which often bring a foul smell, especially when the water is stirred up by the few barges that pass by.

The Hautois woods are a pleasant place for a walk, especially around its pond.

This oak, 200 to 300 years old, would have been used by the German army during the First World War as an observation post. The panel states: "The soldiers could thus observe the artillery and enemy movements. We can still observe some of the iron bars which would have been inserted into the trunk in order to constitute a ladder. The tree having continued to grow, the majority of the bars have been absorbed by the bark."

Magnificent, well-maintained house

The Canal de la Deûle is one of the oldest canals in northern France and connects the river Scarpe at Douai with the river Lys at Deûlémont, near the Belgian border. The canal is approximately 34.8 km long and has 3 locks. Most of the canal is included in the high-quality Dunkerque-Escaut waterway, and the remaining section through the port of Lille is often considered a branch of the main route, hence the alternative names Liaison or Antenne Bauvin-Lys.
