The Cirkwi brief

Embark on a delightful 10 km journey along the serene banks of the Deûle, either by foot or bicycle. This route, masterfully curated by the Office of Tourism of Val de Deûle and Lys, begins at the historic Château de Robersart, inviting you to immerse in the enchanting world of ancient dolls and toys before stepping out into the lush park. As you follow the towpath toward Quesnoy-sur-Deûle, the air fills with the scent of juniper from the local distillery, leading you to the picturesque St. Michel Church. The path bids a peaceful retreat from the hustle, with the opposite bank offering a fresh perspective on your return. Ideal for those looking to replenish their soul amidst nature's tranquil bounty.

Spanning 7.496 kilometers with a minimal elevation fluctuation, the starting altitude is at 12 meters, culminating at a modest 19 meters. This circuit presents a virtually flat landscape, making it accessible for participants of all fitness levels. The journey from Château de Robersart to Quesnoy-sur-Deûle and back is characterized by a clear path, ensuring a straightforward and enjoyable trek.

Seasonal Tips and Safety Recommendations
Regardless of the season, this itinerant exploration marvels. In spring, the blossoming flora frames the river exquisitely, while summer offers lush greenery. Autumn paints the path with a colorful palette, and even in winter, the stark beauty of the landscape enchants. Safety-wise, always stay on the marked paths to protect the local fauna and flora. With the route being predominantly flat, it is well-suited for families; however, ensure children are supervised near water. Always carry water, especially during summer months, and keep the local weather forecast in mind.
