Feeling like a nature break and a refreshing bike ride? Head out to explore the most beautiful cycling paths in the Lille metropolis, featuring marshlands, canals, and picturesque trails. It’s the perfect way to reconnect your crew with the countryside… and your calves with summer.

1. The blue jive along the Deûle in Quesnoy-sur-Deûle

The perfect plan to dive straight into vacation mode: stroll along the river starting from the Nautical Stop and let yourself be carried away among lagoons, meandering streams, and carpets of wild plants. Quesnoy-sur-Deûle guarantees photo opportunities and fresh air!

2. Santes & the Deûle Park: Nature XXL (but without the crowd)

Starting from the Nature Relay, head towards the towpaths and the underbrush of Santes to spot birds, centuries-old trees, and wild nooks. It's a perfect spot for a relaxed ride, some bird watching, and then chilling by the water.

3. Wavrin: between fields, marshlands, and a parade of insects

In Wavrin, you'll find an authentic Northern vibe: from the City Marsh to the little paths, you pedal through reeds, meadows, and dragonflies with ease. It's a must-try for the golden light and the “nature documentary” vibes!

4. Fretin: mission dragonflies and peaceful roads

Fretin is the perfect spot to unwind, especially the Bonnance marshes. We start at the dead end of Marx Dormoy and cruise along the country roads in search of dragonflies (the lovely winged damselflies). It’s a stress-free journey where you can stop, take a look, and set off again whenever you want. It's all about that slow life on a bike, pure and simple.

5. Sainghin-en-Mélantois: the pollinator's stroll

Starting off in front of the Saint-Nicolas church in Sainghin, off you go to meet butterflies, bees, and wildflowers. It's the perfect way to reconnect with the tranquility of the countryside and observe the biodiversity with every pedal stroke.

All these rides are accessible for all levels and mostly on bike paths or small trails.
