Tourist Attractions & Monuments Picardy

Ch'ti Aventure is THE park for thrill-seekers, perched in the trees. Several routes are available to vary the pleasures. If you don't feel dizzy, some even go up to 17 meters high. Ranked from easy to difficult, some activities require good physical condition. To be reserved for the most enduring! But Ch'ti Aventure still thought of the whole family, with courses specially designed for children. Of note: a 100% Tyrolean area, which promises long descents. A lot of fun and adrenaline!

They were first fishermen chalets used for inshore fishing on the sandy Calaisis beaches and painted in all colours. With time and the development of leisure, these huts were used for holidays accommodation by local families. In 1936, the city of Calais wanted to replace the chalets by cabins that would be put away during winter. It did not work for a simple reason: their wooden planks, retaining sand, contributed to emptying the town of its sand. The chalets were recorded over the decades as a permanent heritage of Calais. The owner of a cottage is theoretically not allowed to rent. Meanwhile, you can find opportunities to buy on online shops and at the entertaining associations.

The staff of the Ourcq Canal was considered in order to supply firewood and construction. Work began in 1560, along with the construction of reservoirs, including the ponds of La and a system of flotation and locks. Proof that toll is not a modern invention, at that time a right was payable to borrow the canal. It is said that Leonardo da Vinci would have carried out the first lock tests on the river Ourcq…

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.

Visit the locations of Dany Boon's film, Nothing to Declare. Relive the border crossing between Macquenoise (Belgium) and Hirson-Forêt (France). The atmosphere of the film is tremendously well recreated, thanks in particular to André Meunier, a true local figure! You will learn more about the territory, about various products such as Chimay beer or maroilles and about filming. Eight years after the film's release, the places, which have been transformed into a small museum, still attract many visitors, so that in 2017 the team created an escape game called "The Office". Locked in the customs offices, your team has 60 minutes to find the keys to the famous 4L of the film in order to escape the customs chief. The success has been such that, since then, two other escape games have emerged: "Le Garage" and "L'Enquête". A frank part of laughter in perspective.
