There is a small bar along the bike route. Perfect for a stopover.

It would be nicer if it were possible to do this directly on the railway cycle path.

Inconspicuous border, it's a shame that the railway cycle path isn't directly usable.

From the 10th century onwards, a Romanesque church stood here. This church had fallen into very poor condition, and in 1802 it was renovated to serve as a parish church after the French Revolution. By 1862, only the nave remained, and it was decided to demolish the old church. In 1872, the foundation stone of a new church was laid on top of a dune. It was a Neo-Gothic church building. In 1940, this church was largely destroyed. Consequently, worshippers had to worship in a temporary church, and reconstruction began in 1949. Construction was interrupted by bankruptcy, but resumed in 1955. The church was consecrated in 1958. The church has a tower attached to the front, which also housed a clock in 1988. The stained-glass windows in the choir depict the life of Saint Vincent de Paul. Source: Wikipedia

Atop the column is a sculpture: at the front, a soldier with a rifle and a flag in his hand. Behind him is the statue of a victorious woman holding a laurel wreath above the flag. Below that, a cross in relief: "1914 – 1918" "To the children of Ghyvelde who died for France" On the plinth are several memorial plaques: "To the fighters Tunisia – Morocco – Algeria * Indochina 1952-1962 1946-1954" Below that, a plaque listing the victims of the First World War, arranged by year.

A well-maintained bike path that can get busy at times. Courtesy is key. Enjoy together, each at their own pace.
