Avesnes-en-Bray: Walking Routes and Heritage

Circular walks, heritage and recurring events offer different ways to shape a stay. If you are looking for a hotel in Avesnes-en-Bray, you can plan your dates around whether a walk, the Église Saint-Martin or a particular event day will be the focus of your stay. Information about the walking routes can help you choose a walk based on specific route details rather than just its name.

Compare circular walks

Le cirque de Fumechon is an easy circular walk covering 6.6 km; the estimated duration is 1 hour and 45 minutes. The route offers a way to discover the characteristic landscapes of the Bray region. This time estimate is a useful point of reference when weighing up the distance and the time you have available.

Les Maisons Rouges is also an easy circular walk: 6.71 km with 82 metres of ascent. The routes differ in length by 0.11 km. The figures highlight different planning considerations: Le cirque de Fumechon has an estimated duration, while Les Maisons Rouges lists the ascent. This lets you take into account the features specified for each route as well as their similar distances.

Les Maisons Rouges is tourist circular route no. 10 of Quatre Rivières en Bray and is marked in green throughout; however, markers may be missing or damaged. So do not rely solely on the markings for navigation. The route follows a sunken lane in the commune of Avesnes-en-Bray, considered a refuge for animals typical of the Pays de Bray. This landscape feature also shapes the walk, alongside its distance and ascent.

Église Saint-Martin and sacred art

The sculptural group “La Charité de saint Martin” is housed in the Église Saint-Martin in Avesnes-en-Bray. The carved, painted and polychrome wooden sculpture dates from the second half of the 16th century and is classified as a protected object. Polychrome means multicoloured; the term adds information about the colouring to the details about the wood, carving and paint. The Église Saint-Martin was rebuilt in the 18th century. The two dates therefore refer to different periods: the rebuilding of the church and the earlier creation of the sculpture. For travellers interested in sacred art and architectural history, this contrast offers a specific theme to explore.

Recurring events

The Club Nature run by Les Champs de Bray is for children aged 4 to 11 and is free. It takes place every other Wednesday outside school holidays. If you would like to include this event in your plans, check the specific dates and availability in advance; both may change.

To choose your dates, compare the schedules directly: Club Nature is held on a Wednesday outside school holidays, while the market takes place on the first Friday of the month. Check the specific market date before travelling if you would like to plan your stay around it.
