TERRILS DE L'ESCARPELLE ET DES PÂTURELLES

A very beautiful and easy hike, easily accessible by bus from Douai: the Terrils of Escarpelle and Pâturelles. Entirely reserved for pedestrians, they are as much a precious testimony of the mining past of the region as a reason to walk in nature (which has reclaimed the place). From the top, you can see the town of Roost-Warendin, but also the headframe shaft which is clearly visible on the horizon. Recommended for families!
