Bring high shoes for the passages in the fields; very pleasant hike which alternates between several panoramas (canal edge; fields; woods)

The menhir is located in the marsh of Aubigny-au-Bac, on a footpath leading to Brunémont. It is a block of Landenian sandstone 2.90 m high (including 1.48 m above ground) by 2.15 m wide and 0.70 m thick. It is said to have been sunk to about 2.40 m. Shaped like a horse's head, it is associated with a prehistoric megalith despite the absence of evidence.

In terms of nature, the main attraction of Oisy-le-Verger is undoubtedly its marshes. A beautiful environment for mountain biking among ponds, woods, peat, poplar groves and alluvial plains.

The Seven Bonnettes are a fascinating megalithic site, surrounded by legends and mysteries. Located in a picturesque valley, this 75 meter high mound is crowned with standing stones forming a crown. According to legend, these stones represent six young girls and a musician, transformed into statues by Heaven for having danced instead of attending vespers.

Small mythical location. The stone pillars on top have already made many passers-by think. They are part of the unknown treasures of Arras and the Pays d'Artois. The various megalithic sites are good for a beautiful walk, among mysteries and legends, history and extraordinary landscapes. Set sail for the Scarpe valley and the Sensée valley, in the wake of the megaliths of the Pays d'Artois.

The British cemetery of Sains-les-Marquion contains the graves of 255 soldiers who died during the First World War, mainly Canadians who liberated the village from German occupation in September 1918. You can admire the architecture of the cemetery, designed by W C Von Berg, and pay tribute to fallen heroes.

The image is really small. We had to search after driving past it for the first time.

Small statue of Menhir Bouteroue by Palluel near the roundabout. The Sensée valley is known for its mysterious menhirs and dolmens: stones from Lécluse or Aubigny-au-Bac, large boulder from Oisy-le-Verger, ... Most monoliths testify to a primitive religion. Now legends are resurfacing, tongues are wagging and myths still have bright days ahead.
