GR®121B

From Bailleul (France-Belgium border) to Rieulay (Nord)

The GR®121B is a 123 km long trail that begins in Bailleul, a charming town located on the Belgian border. Crossing green fields and forests, the trail heads towards Armentières, known for its industrial heritage and breweries, then towards Marcq-en-Barœul and Lille, the capital of Flanders, where you can admire Flemish architecture. The path then crosses Villeneuve-d’Ascq, Ennevelin, and Avelin, offering rural landscapes and views of the agricultural plains typical of the region. Approaching Mons-en-Pévèle, hikers discover the hills of Pévèle, famous for their cobblestone paths, well-known in the world of cycling. The GR®121B then heads towards Raimbeaucourt and Vred, crossing wetlands rich in biodiversity, where you can observe varied fauna and flora in the marshes and forests. The route ends in Rieulay, a small town located in the Scarpe Valley.
