Archaeology handicrafts and science and technology sites to visit Nord

A few steps from Lille, this beautiful forest of almost 700 hectares is the ideal place to recharge, walking, horse or bicycle. Note that the Phalempin family Tour Tour proposed by the General Council of the North is simply delicious, and allows you to cross the forest from end to end and enjoy all its diversity. The unfortunate point of the place: the highway A 1 near the woods, causing a noise nuisance throughout the northern part of the forest… Hence the interest of crossing the paths to the south and getting into nature, to enjoy the tranquillity of this haven of peace.

The coast runs from Dunkirk to Bray-Dunes, last city French before Belgium. The 15 km of beach are surrounded by North Sea and 700 ha of dunes listed as national nature reserve. Impossible not to fall for water sports: sand yachting, windsurfing, kayaking, speed sail, kite surfing... You can also relax by placing your towel, renting a kiosk... Children or adult, everyone can practice an activity safely thanks to professionals who accompany them. The quality of its natural areas, its sustainable tourism approach and its recreation nature offer enabled the Dunes of Flanders to be labelled 4-star Nautical station.
