The blue square

In the center of the Blue Park, various rivers, namely the Scheldt, the Espierres canal, the Roubaix canal, the Marque, the Deûle, the Lys and the Bossuit-Kortrijk canal (Kortrijk), form a 90 km cross-border “water loop”. By pedaling along this loop, on towpaths largely without a car, you will be able to discover and explore the core of the Eurometropolis between Lille, Tournai and Kortrijk, and all the surprises it conceals: heritage linked to the water, industrial heritage, parks, natural areas and cities full of life.

The signposted circuit will take you through 24 points of interest described here. Along the way, you will discover the local color in villages, cafes and restaurants and can picnic in nature, by the water.

Different forms of accommodation are available if you want to go for a weekend or several days!
