Voie verte Coulogne - Guîne

Highlight (Segment) • Other

A quiet cycle route, partly through the Guînes marshes, in an area rich in canals. Here and there, you'll have to cross a lane. In the sections where you ride close to the canal, lights flicker in the dark.

Fort Risban

Highlight • Historical Site

Fort Risban dates from the end of the 16th century and was built on the site of an English tower: the Tour de Lancastre (Tower of Lancaster). The tower served to defend the harbor entrance. After an explosion in 1800, which caused serious damage to the building, major work was carried out in the first half of the 19th century. The fort was then restored and expanded. In 1921 it was declassified and purchased by the city in 1938. Fort Risban is on the list of protected buildings. Restoration work was started a few years ago.

September 22, 2024,VF36: Van Calais naar Guînes

The very last stage of the Via Francigena we did in the dark and in the pouring rain. That's why the photos were limited.
We were on the mainland at 20:15. So it won't be the Via Francigena but the shortest route to Guînes. How, the Via Francigena is the shortest route anyway? That's right, except for this stage. In …
