The Hortillonnages

Highlight • Other

Beautifull floating gardens to visit by bike and boat! We stoppen at Le Vert Galant and rented a small boat for a tour without a reservation..

Tip by

1.24 km

While being on the outskirts of the city, you feel like in another universe. Whether on the side of the floating gardens, also called hortillonnages, or the peacefully flowing river, you no longer know where to look. Everyone will find in this route reasons to stroll and admire or else to practice a sporting activity far from the tumults of the city. This path being narrow in places and sometimes very busy, please respect other users, remain courteous and careful.

La Canardière

Highlight • Settlement

Clean and uncrowded road, bordering ponds. Perfect for connecting the towpath between Camon and Lamotte-Brebière.

Passage over the Gr800 bridge

Highlight • Other

At each passage why there was a cross of Gr under the bridge.
The answer, the Gr goes to the right before the bridge and then passes above to cross the sum. The real passage is not on the towpath.
So possibility of cutting by taking the bridge to arrive at Lamotte-Brebière.

Lamotte-Brebière Locks

Highlight • Structure

The Lamotte-Brebière lock was built in 1870 to regulate the flow of water and prevent flooding of neighboring hortillonnages. The lock is located in a magnificent setting, surrounded by greenery and wildlife. You can also visit the historic lock keeper's house, transformed into a cultural café where you can eat and attend artistic events.
