Head to head with the great outdoors

It’s often a good idea to immerse yourself in the hectic pace of the city, the better to appreciate the tranquility of the great outdoors.
Take the time to leave Valenciennes for a breath of fresh air.
A unique experience awaits you…

Getting there

An ascent that will surprise you...

Head for Condé sur l’Escaut, where the coal giant will be inviting you and your better half to outdo yourselves, with an unforgettable reward at the end.

Once at the foot of our “black mountain”, take the time to immerse yourself
into your surroundings.
Climbing the Ledoux slag heap is also a feast for the senses.

Like an intimate discussion between nature and yourself, like a free pass, the terril invites you and shows you the way up.

Surrounded by birch trees, you’ll find yourself looking around, in search of a horizon for the moment, hidden by the trees.

A little more patience… with a glance and without a word, you’re on your way.

Once you’ve taken the last few steps, catch your breath and stand still.
Right in front of you is a grandiose spectacle: a 360° view, a panorama of infinite nature.

The reflex is to take each other by the hand to contemplate and share this breathtaking reward.

The Valenciennes region stretches out before you…
Down below, you can see the headframe, the pond, the swans and the birds putting on a show just for you.

Behind you, the Bonsecours forest and Belgium in the distance…
Once again, take time to feel your surroundings.

Breathe, contemplate, listen… maybe you’ll even hear the heartbeat of your other half!

Here, all is order and beauty, luxury, calm and pleasure.
