I didn't manage to go up, too many steps of roots. Going down I also find it exciting but doable.

Cobbled road with a view of Mont-Saint-Aubert (for those walking/climbing northwards) or Cain and Tournai (for those walking/descending southwards).

When you begin the climb to Mont-Saint-Aubert in Goudinière (near the square farm La Cense des Sources), the path initially leads through meadows. The final section runs through the forest. This section is a bit more challenging, partly because it's a bit steeper, and partly because it can be quite slippery. This combination can be treacherous in wet conditions.

In a small parking lot near Estaimbourg Church, you'll find several pieces of street art, the most striking of which is the long mural "Vive le Sport" (Long Live Sport). It's painted on the wall that separates the parking lot from the soccer field behind it and the adjacent sports facility. Street art is also displayed on the right wall of the parking lot.

This original, enormous artwork consists of a table and 10 robinia wood chairs. These pieces of furniture enhance the illusion of oversized space and transport the viewer back to childhood. It's one of the artistic works you can discover along the Arty trail, which runs between Roubaix (FR) and Tournai (BE) along the Roubaix and Scheldt Canal (www.parcoursarty.com).
