Leaving the village of Dohem via Rue du Paradis, the Via Francigena takes you along a pleasant tree-lined path.

The small village of Delettes includes the hamlets of Upen d'Amont, Upen d'Aval, and Westrehem. Crossed by the Lys River, it boasts a pretty sluice mill built on the banks of the river.

The Battle of Agincourt took place on October 25, 1415, on the feast of Saint Crispinian. The troops of King Henry V of England fought against the army of King Charles VI of France. It was one of the greatest military victories of the English over the French during the Hundred Years' War. The battle is very well documented. There are numerous books about this battle, including John Keegan: The Face of War: The Battles of Agincourt 1415, Waterloo 1815 and the Somme 1916.

The church of Enguinegatte, built in white stone, had a choir and a bell tower portal from the 17th century. We went there by a spiral staircase, with a receding barrel vault. The nave was restored in the 19th century. It was destroyed by bombing during the Second World War targeting nearby German installations and a V1 rocket launching platform. It was completely rebuilt in brick in 1960. It has retained the bronze bell, cast by Beaudoin and Jussaud in 1776, and classified as movable objects of historical monuments in 1943. It bears the arms of the Ghistelle and Lens Ricourt families.
