Voie verte Coulogne - Guîne

Highlight (Segment) • Other

A quiet cycle route, partly through the Guînes marshes, in an area rich in canals. Here and there, you'll have to cross a lane. In the sections where you ride close to the canal, lights flicker in the dark.

Maréchal Foch Square and Guînes War Memorial

Highlight • Monument

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.

Clock Tower and Guînes Frescoes

Highlight • Historical Site

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.

World War Memorial at Ardres

Highlight • Historical Site

The artist was inspired by the famous phrase of the supreme and truly Cornelian call: "Arise, the dead!" ".
This call is proclaimed by a grenadier with a greatcoat half torn by the explosions; he steps over a gabion and prepares to launch the deadly projectile towards the enemy: the poilu is alive and the stone seems alive.
Despite the difficulties in the execution, the artist fortunately managed to avoid any heaviness, he was able to give the stone all the desired and possible flexibility.
Ardres was kind enough, in keeping with the erection of this magnificent monument, to honour the memory of the 82 heroes and their children who died gloriously during the Great War.
