Cross a pier which offers a panoramic view of the marsh. Three hundred metres further on, at ‘l'Auberge Rouge’, continue straight on the Chemin des Eclusettes and follow this small road for 1200m. At the bend, turn left onto the gravel path.

Take the footbridge and turn left. This part of the route is common to the ‘circuit des Aulx’ and the GR 121, marked white on red.

Continue to the right. Walk on the upper part of the path, reserved for pedestrians. Go past the entrance to the departmental site of the Marais d'Arleux; it is open to the public for guided tours. At the next intersection, turn left into Rue du Pont à Briques, Hamel. Turn right towards the church and then left into Rue F. Delplanque, Place Jean Sovet and Rue Edouard Tourtelot. At the end, turn right into rue du Marais.

Continue straight on and then turn right after the bridge. Pass the ponds of Lécluse and then come to a road. Continue to the left and take the rue d'Hamel.

Turn left onto rue Notre Dame and then right onto rue des Liniers. Returning to the church.
