GR®121

From Bon-Secours (Belgium) to Equihen-Beach (Pas-de-Calais)

The GR121 long-distance hiking trail connects the Scheldt River valley to the cliffs of the Opal Coast, beginning at the Belgian border and winding its way through the former mining basin and the plains of Artois. Its heritage reflects a rare diversity: from Vauban fortifications at Condé-sur-l'Escaut to industrial remains and World War I memorial sites. Geographically, the trail evolves from a landscape of wetlands and state-owned forests (such as the Marchiennes forest) to the more rugged terrain of the Upper Artois. As it approaches the Pas-de-Calais region, the horizon opens up onto chalk plateaus before culminating in the breathtaking seaside setting of Équihen-Plage. In terms of nature, hikers traverse protected wetlands and vegetated slag heaps that have become havens of biodiversity.
