The Cirkwi brief
Uncover the Spectacular CAN'ART Journey in Northern France
Immerse yourself into the vibrant world of street art with a unique 13km walk between Croix and Wambrechies. This journey, curated by the Métropole Européenne de Lille, is not just a stroll but an exploration of creative expression along the canal paths of the Marque and Deûle. Discover an array of graffiti artworks from the CAN'ART festivals of 2018 and the upcoming ones in 2020. This route allows you to experience the dynamic street art culture supported by the Collectif Renart, while gently meandering through Northern France's picturesque waterways.
Essential Route Details Unveiled
Spanning 13.3km and navigating a modest altitude range between 15m to 30m, this itinerary presents an accessible challenge for walking enthusiasts. The route showcases a positive elevation of roughly 76 to 88 meters, indicating slight but manageable inclines throughout. Authored by the Métropole Européenne de Lille, it stands as a testament to carefully plotted pathways that not only promise artistic enrichment through the discovery of graffiti artworks but also ensure an engaging physical activity amidst Northern France's serene landscapes.
Seasonal Tips for a Fulfilling Journey
Regardless of the season, the CAN'ART trail offers something unique. However, preparation is key. In spring and fall, layered clothing is advisable to adapt to variable temperatures. Summers, while ideal for this outdoor activity, require sunscreen and ample hydration. Winter visitors should ensure proper footwear for potentially slippery paths. Always check local weather forecasts before setting out, and consider starting early in the day to fully enjoy the daylight hours, as well as the vivid artworks in the best light.
