The Voie Verte between Coulogne and Guînes is a pleasant route designed for cyclists, hikers and families in search of nature. This path runs along old railway lines and crosses varied landscapes, between fields, forests and meadows typical of Pas-de-Calais. Easy to access and flat, it is perfect for a family walk, while enjoying the calm of the countryside.

The tower has been perched on the hill of the feudal motte-and-bailey castle since 1763 and offers a view of Calais, the Côte d'Opale, the Flemish plain and the bocage around Boulogne. At its foot is an interactive museum dedicated to the past of Guînes: the arrival of the Vikings, the founding of the city by Sifrid around 800, the meeting at the Camp du Drap d'Or.

The Église Saint-Pierre aux Liens is a church in Guînes, France. It is one of five parish churches that Guînes once owned. The church has been rebuilt and restored several times, and the current structure was built in 1822. The church has a remarkable pulpit dating from 1706, which contains an image of an abbess holding a book while a dove flies above her head.

Guînes is situated in a green landscape between forests and marshes. The town is known for its good food and is a good base for beautiful walks through "Les Trois Pays". From 1352 to 1558 it was the capital of a powerful county, a vassal state of England.

Of the five churches listed in Guînes in the Middle Ages, only the church of Saint-Pierre has survived. It is of very ancient origin and its name is already mentioned in 1306 in the documents of Artois. It was restored in 1660 and destroyed in 1820 because of the damage suffered during the Revolution. The present church was inaugurated in 1822. Inside you can discover a true work of art: the pulpit, whose carved panels are particularly admirable.
