Discover Loison-Sur-Créquoise through its hiking trails, Perlé and architectural heritage. The activities offer different options: the circular trails vary in length, while the Sentier des Templiers combines a specific walking time with landscapes and the village. You can also explore the production and taste of Perlé, as well as take part in visits and workshops at La Sereine. This lets you plan your stay around outdoor activities, food and drink, and culture without trying to fit every theme into the same day.
Circular Trails and the Sentier des Templiers
The Maison du Perlé offers five circular trails year-round, ranging from 1.5 to 15 kilometres. The trails are marked, and you can obtain a free topoguide for all five on site. Their varying lengths give you a practical basis for choosing a route. The Sentier des Templiers is another hiking option: it is considered an easy walk of about 9 kilometres, taking approximately three hours. The information about the circular trails and the Sentier describes different options and should not be confused.
Along the Sentier des Templiers, the route passes through grassy corridors and through the village. It then leaves the valley, climbs to higher ground and opens up wide views. The village passage and expansive views across the landscape are therefore among the described features of this walk. The approximate three-hour duration helps you set aside a specific amount of time for it during your stay; the shorter routes among the five circular trails offer other distance options.
Discover and Taste Perlé
The Cave du Perlé was founded in 1985 by Hubert Delobel. To make Le Perlé, fruit is pressed and fermented to preserve its original flavour. This production method gives your visit a direct connection to local products: at the Cave du Perlé in Loison-Sur-Créquoise, you can learn about the local expertise and production process, and taste Perlé. Check the current visitor arrangements before your visit.
The circular trails and a visit to the Cave du Perlé appeal to different interests, but can be viewed together as ways to experience the region: enjoy the outdoors while also discovering a local product. If you would like to plan both, it may be useful to set aside separate time for the walk and the visit. Current visitor arrangements are important for the tasting; the approximate three-hour walking time is a practical guide for the Sentier des Templiers.
La Sereine and Architectural Heritage
La Sereine was built around 1725 and illustrates the traditional architecture of the Pays de Montreuil and Artois. Its defining features include timber framing, clay infill and regional roof tiles. Public tours and educational workshops there explore ecological restoration techniques, regional materials and traditional crafts. These topics connect the building’s construction with its upkeep and the materials used. Check the event dates before travelling if you would like to plan a tour or workshop.
A chapel in Loison-Sur-Créquoise also has a distinctive architectural feature: its gable ornament is shaped like a cross made from the bottoms of bottles. The same type of ornament can be found on the Notre-Dame-des-Affligés chapel in Humbert. The comparison refers to this particular design feature and adds an architectural detail distinct from La Sereine’s architecture.
When choosing a hotel, you can first consider which of these options you would like to make the focus of your stay: a walk with a clear time estimate, several circular trails of different lengths, a Perlé tasting, or tours and workshops at La Sereine. The activities mentioned offer different ways to plan your trip; check event dates and visitor arrangements to suit your itinerary.
