Discover Chériennes

Chériennes offers three distinct points of interest for a trip focused on gardens, architectural history or walking: the Jardin des Lianes, the Church of Saint Francis of Assisi and the “Les Agaches” hike. If you’re looking for a hotel for a stay in Chériennes, these themes can help you choose the focus of your trip. A garden visit, historical landmarks and a hike of around three hours each offer a different experience, so they can be considered separately rather than combined into a fixed itinerary.

Visiting the Jardin des Lianes

The Jardin des Lianes is a 5,400-square-metre collection garden in Chériennes and has been awarded the “Jardin Remarquable” label. Its collection includes 450 varieties of old or English fragrant roses. The combination of its size, collection-garden character and rose collection gives the garden a clearly defined profile. This is a practical consideration when planning your trip if you’re mainly looking for a rose collection and a garden visit at your destination.

The garden can be visited independently; guided tours are also available for groups. You can factor this into your plans: would you like to explore the garden on your own, or would a guided tour suit your group?

The church and local history

The Church of Saint Francis of Assisi is part of Chériennes’ architectural heritage. Its bronze bell dates from 1868. The church complex in Chériennes was listed as a protected site on 14 August 1974. The dates refer to different things: 1868 is the date of the bell, while 14 August 1974 is when the complex was listed.

In the church’s south-side chancel niche stands a statue of Saint Francis of Assisi, carved from wood and polychrome-painted. Chériennes also had a chaplaincy chapel dedicated to Saint Francis of Assisi, built in 1670. It was built long before the bell of 1868 and the listing of the church complex in 1974. The complex includes the high altar, tabernacle, reredos, two statuettes and a painting depicting the Crucifixion.

Hiking the Les Agaches route

The “Les Agaches” hike is 13 kilometres long, takes around three hours and is of moderate difficulty. It crosses the plateau between the valleys of the Canche and the Authie. For planning purposes, the distance and approximate duration give you a time frame, while the moderate difficulty rating provides additional context for the route.

The route across a plateau adds a landscape element to the information about distance and duration. Les Agaches therefore offers a different focus from the garden visit or architectural history: here, the route, time required and difficulty level are the main considerations.
