Dennebroeucq: Theme Park, Hiking Trails and Architectural History

Dennebroeucq combines family-friendly leisure activities with hiking trails and a history of architecture and milling. Dennlys Parc offers attractions for children and adults; the GR® 127 and the GR® 127A variant follow different routes. Churches, chapels and the Moulin de la Tour add specific architectural and technical details to these themes. If you are looking for a hotel for your trip, you can first decide whether a theme park, hiking, or architectural history and milling technology should shape your stay.

Leisure at Dennlys Parc

Dennlys Parc offers more than thirty different attractions and activities, including options for children and adults. The number of attractions and the programme may change; check the information before your visit. The park has three free car parks; check this service information before travelling. The 2026 children’s birthday package includes park admission and one snack of your choice per child: a crêpe, waffle or Italian ice cream. Package details may also change.

GR® 127 and the 127A variant

The GR® 127 long-distance hiking trail ends at Carrefour St-Aubin in Dennebroeucq; the GR® 127A variant runs from this crossroads to Doudeauville. This means the same named point is described as the endpoint of one route and the starting point of another. This distinction is useful when choosing a route, as you can focus on the GR® 127 or the variant towards Doudeauville. Routes may change; check the latest trail information before setting off.

Church and chapels

Église Saint-Léger features architectural elements dating from the 16th, 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. A sundial is engraved in the stone wall at the end of its choir. The church thus brings together a broad span of periods and a specific detail at the end of the choir. The chapels can also be distinguished by their architectural forms and dates. Chapelle Notre-Dame du Perpétuel Secours has a barrel vault in the form of a half-dome and is a brick building dating from the second half of the 19th century. Chapelle Notre-Dame de Lourdes was built in 1925 and is made entirely of brick. The first chapel is notable for its vault shape and period; for Notre-Dame de Lourdes, the exact year of construction and the use of brick throughout are defining features.

Moulin de la Tour

The wheel at the Moulin de la Tour is regularly put into operation for tourist demonstrations. If you plan to attend a demonstration, check the date in advance. Historically, five weirs at the Moulin de la Tour were used to create a tourist water-retention area; some modern milling machines can also be seen at the mill. For those interested in technology, there are three aspects to explore: demonstrations using the wheel, the water-related function of the weirs, and modern milling technology in the machines on display.
