The Jardin de la Paix is a green space in the heart of Douvrin. The banks of the Canal d'Aire are suitable for walks and cycling tours. When planning a trip to Douvrin, you may wish to rent a holiday apartment.

Nature

In the centre of Douvrin, the Jardin de la Paix has swings, slides and climbing frames for children. The Chemin des cavaliers was a former railway line, now vanished, that passed through several surrounding towns and today enables numerous hikes. Along the Chemin des cavaliers, the Parcours santé has several pieces of sports equipment for outdoor activities.

The Parc Marcel Cabiddu was one of the first former mining sites to be transformed into a leisure area. Today, it is an expansive natural area with a pond and several kilometres of walking paths.
