Up to the gas station the road is paved and therefore good gravel. Otherwise it is unpaved and more mountain bike with possible deep tracks in a wet surface.

**The Moulin de l'Aile de Saint-Omer, formerly located in the Marais de l'aile (in the Marais audomarois was built in 1866. The mill was used to manage the waters of the marsh by draining them using its Archimedes screw. ** Several mills existed, located on dikes, this made it possible to maintain a water level favorable to the cultivation of vegetables between March 1st and November 1st of 50 ha of Marais audomarois. Heavily damaged at the end of the 40s due to a storm, it was later dismantled. It was in 2013 that it was reassembled identically opposite the Maison du Marais de Saint-Omer, at Port au lait battu. It was restored by the Regional Association of Friends of Mills.
