GR®122

From Bon-Secours (Belgium) to Son (Ardennes)

The GR122, also known as "The Crossing of Wallonia and Picardy," begins beneath the canopy of the Mormal Forest, the largest forest in northern France, before following the tranquil ribbon of the Sambre-Oise Canal. As it descends into the Oise Valley, the landscape transforms into the hills of the Thiérache, a region with a strong identity characterized by its verdant hedgerows and the meadows of the Avesnois. The architectural heritage here is unique: hikers will discover the famous fortified churches, red-brick bastions built to protect the villagers during the 17th-century invasions.
