Halluin: Parks, Heritage and Cycling

Halluin brings together green spaces, landscaped parks, historic buildings and opportunities to stay active. When choosing a hotel for your stay, it helps to decide first what you would like to focus on during your time here: are you more interested in parkland, an outdoor activity or the town’s history? These destinations offer different experiences and can be considered as separate themes when planning your visit.

Parks and green spaces in Halluin

Jardin de la Paix is a 6.5-hectare landscaped park in Halluin. The Parc Arboretum du Manoir aux Loups is centred on a collection of coniferous and deciduous trees from five continents; since 2004, it has held the French « Jardin remarquable » label. The two parks offer different experiences: the size of the landscaped park is a defining feature of Jardin de la Paix, while the arboretum stands out for the variety of its trees and their origins across five continents. If parks are your focus, Halluin offers both a landscaped park and a distinctive plant collection.

Kluite Put has a different landscape history: the site was once used for clay extraction and was restored as a natural area in 1990. It has a fitness trail in a natural setting, with wooden exercise stations. Designated picnic areas add a place to take a break alongside the opportunity to exercise. The trail and picnic areas are part of the same natural area, making Kluite Put a place to combine activity and time outdoors.

Cycling and other outdoor activities

The public skatepark/pump track in Jardin de la Paix is open to everyone. The facilities are suitable for cycling, riding a scooter, inline skating and skateboarding. This brings several kinds of riding together at one public facility. A bike ride through the metropolitan area is a different option: it follows the Voie verte du Ferrain towards Roncq and Halluin. The distinction is useful when planning: the skatepark/pump track offers different ways to ride within Jardin de la Paix, while the bike ride focuses on a route. You can decide whether you would prefer a facility with several uses or a bike ride as the main activity.

Historic buildings and digital insights

Saint-Hilaire Church was built in the neo-Gothic style in the late 19th century. Moulin Hollebecque has specific historical details: the miller Cyrille HOLLEBEKE built it in 1877, and since 1989 it has been listed in the supplementary inventory of historic monuments. Visits to Moulin Hollebecque are possible on request. Be sure to enquire when planning this stop.

The free virtual tour « Halluin, sur les traces de son passé » focuses on the municipality’s historical heritage. Check whether the tour is available before using it. This lets you include a digital way to explore the subject in your plans, while a visit to Moulin Hollebecque requires an enquiry.
