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 Rieulay slag heap, also known as the Argales slag heap, is the largest in the region with its 140 hectares. Formerly an industrial site for the storage of waste rock from the surrounding mines, it has been converted into a protected natural area and a place for leisure.

Le Bassin Rond is a former water garage in Bouchain, France. It was constructed to allow the connection between the Canal de l'Escaut and the Sensée1. It is a popular destination for walkers and cyclists, with a 5 kilometer trail along its banks that invites you to go back in time2. There is also a sailing school called Center Départemental De Plein Air Du Bassin Rond CDPA, where you can learn to sail and practice other water sports
