4 great places to take your dog for a walk in the mining basin 📍 Les Terrils Jumeaux de Loos-en-Gohelle, because it's not just trailers who are allowed to train on the black mountains. 📍 La Cité des Electriciens in Bruay-la-Buissière for its peace and quiet and its proximity to the Pays à Part slag heaps. A walk on a lead to admire the sites. 📍 Parc d'Olhain for its family spirit and forest walks. 📍 Parc de la Glissoire in Avion to tickle the ducks (but always on a lead!). 💡 Of course, in public places, please pick up after your pooch and keep them on a lead when requested 😉
