RouteXpert Review
We explore with this route the nature park Plaines de L'Escaut between Tournai and Bergen. On our trip we also come across some historical sights.
Shortly after the start we arrive at the monument for the first American engine that enters Belgium at the liberation in La Glanerie. This monument is located near 'Le pont de la Libération'.
In Bléharies where we turn left, it is worthwhile to stop at the church. The original church was destroyed by a bomb attack in 1918. Henri Lacoste was commissioned to rebuild a new church.
The style is similar to Art Deco and its originality lies in the use of reinforced concrete, unknown material in the religious architecture of the moment. The exterior is characterized by a triangular façade and a high octagonal clock tower adjacent to the building.
Inside a large ship with arches of reinforced concrete so no pillars are needed. The walls are in striking green, red and white colors.
The Pierre Brunehault in Holain, near Tournai, is the most imposing megalith in Belgium.
In Peruwelz we pass the impressive Basilica of Our Lady of Good Assistance.
Then we drive south to Bavay.
The town of Bavay, located in the Regional Natural Park of the Avesnois, is known for its Roman ruins. During a visit to the archaeological site of the ancient Bagacum one discovers the ruins of a market, a bourgeois basilica and a cryptoporticus. The departmental Archeology Museum next door contains objects found during excavations on this site such as bronze sculptures, ceramics, plates ...
This is definitely worth a visit!
On our way back we pass the back of the castle of Beloeil where you have a beautiful view of the castle.
In the vicinity of Bavay you end up on a stretch of the old Roman road. This means cobblestones! Also the concrete tracks on this route are not really good.

24 Magnificent trails in France
It is clear that France is one of the most beautiful and best touring countries. It offers an incredibly varied landscape with good roads and a pleasant climate. It is not for nothing that you see so many motorcyclists there. My previous collection of 25 routes in France (25 Magnificent routes in France) were based on the route descriptions from the Motortourgids France part 1 made by Bert Loorbach.
This collection of 24 routes comes from Motortourgids France part 2. In this collection, a difference has been made between approach routes and motorcycle tours in a certain area. The approach routes can also be used in combination with the routes from Motortourgids France part 1
The routes are sometimes slightly adjusted based on the tips that Bert Loorbach gives in his description, or because of another place to spend the night, or to reach the minimum length of 2 hours for the MRA Library. For each route, the review contains a more detailed description, including options to stay overnight or places of interest along the way, which are also indicated with a POI and if possible with a short description.
Two or more routes have been created for a number of areas, such as for Burgundy, Auvergne, The Alps, Tarn and Cévennes and Nord-Pas de Calais. These routes can be nicely combined in a multi-day trip.
