Arleux: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Nature

Arleux lies in the Sensée Valley. The landscape includes extensive ponds, vast marshlands, rivers and canals. The Circuit des Aulx leads through marshlands and reed beds along the Canal de la Sensée; bridges and footbridges can be found along the peaceful route.

The Circuit du domaine des Trous et des Bosses circular trail is one of the hiking routes designated in Arleux. In Arleux, anglers pursue their hobby along the canals and rivers as well as at the large municipal pond. Footbridges have been installed at the large municipal pond for people with reduced mobility.

Cuisine

Ail fumé d'Arleux has been recognised as a European protected geographical indication (PGI) since 2013. It is made from the local ail du Nord variety: the garlic is braided and traditionally smoked. Arleux's smoked garlic braid speciality is an important local product and is made using traditional expertise.

Culture

Le Moulin du Roy is one of Arleux's surviving historic landmarks and a cultural centre with a tourist office on the ground floor, an exhibition room on the first floor, a conference room on the second floor and a media library on the top floor.

The Church of Saint Nicholas in Arleux stands on the site of a 12th-century Romanesque church. Its organ case has been classified as a Monument historique since 1971.

Anyone wishing to rent a holiday apartment in Arleux can include the town in their own travel plans.
