Flers

Not far from the Scarpe-Escaut Regional Natural Park, Flers offers a natural setting particularly suitable for walks and hikes. Wooded hillsides and hectic valleys alternate in a bucolic landscape to wish. Put on your hiking shoes and go for a bath of invigorating nature to meet the fauna and flora of this preserved territory. The walk requires some effort to get to the top of the relatively steep hills, but the panorama is well worth the hours of walking.

In another perspective, Flers is also the place where you can gather in front of the AIF Burial Ground memorial. Taken by the Germans, the commune was the scene of violent battles of the Battle of the Somme. The British, determined to break through the enemy lines, used for the first time tanks in the reconquest of the territory of Flers. After a long week of battle, Flers was freed from the Germanic grip. The cemetery and the memorial testify to the ravages of the war of the time in the small village.

Restored in 1699, the village church is one of the monuments to visit during your stay in Flers. Typical of the country, it welcomes you for the Sunday mass or for a moment of prayers.

At the end of June, Flers celebrates his commune. The village invites you to its communal fete where a festive atmosphere invades the alleys during a weekend. Entertainment is provided throughout the day and in the evenings. There is something for the little ones and the big ones and everyone will find something to enjoy. The whole family will enjoy these festive days when the village wants to be friendly and warm. Evening ball and leisure during the day, the weekend promises to be charged. Local customs are in the spotlight. This festival is the opportunity to immerse yourself in the culture of the soil and to discover Flers in all its splendor.
