Must-Do Activities Near Camping Le Petit St Jean

This trail, which passes through varied surroundings, will take you to the sites of three nearby abbeys: Mont-Saint-Eloi, Etrun and Maroeuil. There you will discover some ruins that managed to survive the destruction of the revolution. The trail is certified by the French Federation of Hiking (FFRP).

This tour offers panoramic views of the various main sites commemorating the Battles of Artois which took place during the First World War, including the impressive German cemetery at La Maison Blanche, which you can visit. The trail is certified by the French Federation of Hiking (FFRP).

More than just a walk, this hiking trail invites you to remember those who have been lost. “A debt of honour”, these few words alone are able to sum up what the British feel when they think of their soldiers who fell on these battlefields during the First World War. The Battle of the Somme, during which the Butte de Warlencourt represented a key strategic challenge, resulted in the deaths of some 125,000 Allied soldiers from England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, India and Newfoundland. English writer Rudyard Kipling, who lost his only son in the war, chose “Their name liveth for evermore”, taken from the Book of Ecclesiasticus, to be the phrase that would be engraved on all the memorial stones.

Over just a few kilometres, this trail takes you to numerous sites associated with the key events of the 20th century. These include visible remnants of the First World War such as the cemeteries and British memorials, and of the Second World War in the form of the remains of an airfield, as well as places associated with the fates of two men who fought during these two conflicts: Lieutenant Commander Oswald Wainwright and General Aubert Frère. In addition to this rich past, Grévillers has retained its rural spirit, which makes this little piece of the country, sandwiched between woodland, meadows and farmed fields, a much-loved destination for walkers.

Who could imagine nowadays that the peaceful village of Martinpuich was once the theatre of terrible battles during the First World War? Devastated to such an extent that it was placed in the Red Zone, i.e. never to be rebuilt and farmed again, it is now a charming village that has managed to create a future for itself by integrating the vestiges of its past. Thankfully the birdsong has finally erased the sound of the pipe band and the cannon from our minds, allowing nature to return to its peaceful state, which today is disturbed only by the gentle grumbling of tractors.

This route starts at the top of a hill. You are in Monchy-le-Preux, a quintessential Artois village that boasts some particularly fine architecture. Just after leaving the village, head through the “Bois du Château” woods, where you will discover a beautiful neo-Gothic chapel. This beautiful route will take you through wooded areas, open countryside and hedge-lined pastures. On the way back you will pass several reminders of the terrible battles that took place here in April 1917. Near the beautiful neo-Romanesque pilgrimage church you can find the Caribou, a memorial dedicated to the brave Newfoundlanders who repelled the enemy’s huge counter-attacks during the Battle of Arras, while further down the street, three soldiers of the 37th Division keep eternal watch.

A wonderful place to stay thanks to its numerous facilities. Its rooms are equipped with all mod cons and will delight you with their pleasant and invigorating setting.

ArrayYour Experience Explore the architectural manifesto that is the Villa Cavrois, designed by architect and figure of the modernist current, Robert Mallet-Stevens. This emblematic piece of his work was built for a textile manufacturer, Paul Cavrois, and his family in the early 1930s. This villa was dubbed a historic monument in 1990, and the restoration program began well into the early 200s. What makes it so appealing is its imposing proportions, the separation of two symmetrical wings, the lack of ornamental decor in the villa, and the escalation of the rooftop terraces. Not to mention, the modern touch post-renovation that included central heating, elevators, and the use of new industrial materials and techniques. You will explore the vast living area, the intriguing façades, the stunning terrace, and of course, the 72-meter-long water mirror, reflecting the beauty of Villa Cavrois quite nicely!

Situated on the banks of the River Canche between Frévent and Hesdin, Boubers, France's 1st "Village Fleuri" in 1959, continues to attract visitors thanks to the "4 flowers" it won in the Concours National des Villes et Villages Fleuris and the "Fleur d'or" in 2015, awarded to 9 French communes. Flowers have helped Boubers make a name for itself a thousand miles around, and they still play an important role in various sectors of activity: nursery, flower sales, shops, restaurants and a campsite with the "green key" label. The church, the castle, the schools, the farms and the workers' cottages of the former spinning mill are all part of the village's history. Finally, hiking trails add a bucolic touch to the village's charm.

Conchy developed along a coastal river, the Canche. This river, renowned for its trout, allowed mills and their activities to develop, as evidenced by the former sawmill, now a cultural centre. The heart of the village is laid out around an oval plan, where the civil, religious and economic life of the community was organised. Its heritage is rich in traditional rural dwellings, old farms and smallholdings, and of course the church, the old presbytery and the school. Nostalgic for the "route des villages fleuris", which in the 1970s, along with Boubers, was the valley's main tourist attraction, Conchy embarked on the flower scheme in 2005, quickly obtaining its 3 flowers, and finally the 4th in 2012, a case of rapidity that is unique in France! The Autumn Garden Festival is held every year on the 2nd Sunday in October and attracts a large number of nurserymen and plant lovers.

The village of Séricourt is best known for its "Jardins de Séricourt", classified as a "remarkable garden" in 2012.

Today, the village has a population of around 60 and is working to restore the chapel of Saint Martin, the oldest building in the village.

Location Information: The Cemetery is about 1 kilometre south of the village, on the road (D340) to Frevent. GPS coordinates: 50.31093, 2 .16593 Visiting Information: Wheelchair access is possible with some difficulty. Identified Casualties: 92 Historical Information Use of the cemetery began in June 1918 when the 46th Casualty Clearing station settled, used later by 6th Stationary Hospital, and subsequently completed by the inclusion of graves from French cemeteries and German burial grounds in the area. The cemetery was used again during the Second World War. The cemetery now contains 81 Commonwealth burials of the First World War (eight of them unidentified) and 19 Second World War burials.
