Start of the Voie Verte de l'Avesnois

Highlight • Cycleway

Located in the Avesnois Regional Natural Park, the Avesnois greenway connects Trélon with Ferrière-la-Grande in the north via Liessies, Solre-le-Château, Lez-Fontaines, Sars-Poteries and Dimont. Along the way, you will discover the landscapes of the Abbé-Val-Joly state forest, the Helpe Majeure valley and the Solre basin. A varied route between nature and heritage.
The Voie Verte de l'Avesnois (Emerald Trail) uses approximately 30 km of the old railway line that opened in 1885 and connected Maubeuge to Fourmies. Closed to passengers in 1969 and to goods in 1976, it is still used occasionally for freight on the Maubeuge-Ferrière-la-Grande and Trélon-Fourmies sections.

The Trélon bandstand

Highlight • Monument

The hexagonal dancing kiosk of Trélon (rather rare), raised on a central pole.
It was erected in 1885 by Léon Bruno, an ironworker in Trélon. Its weight is 2.2 tonnes.
It cost 2200 gold francs paid by the municipality whose Mayor at the time was Mr. Joseph Motte.
Until 1950, it hosted the musicians who entertained the ducasse balls on the 2nd Sunday in June and the 1st Sunday in September. The roof was redone in 1970.

Château de Trélon

Highlight • Castle

The Château de Trélon is a castle located in Trélon, in the north of France. It belongs to the de Merode family and has been registered as a historic monument since 1986. Built on the site of an old 15th-century fortress, the castle has undergone significant transformations over the generations, with great attention always paid to the architecture. It is a majestic Louis XIII style house, richly decorated with collections of furniture, tapestries, Sèvres porcelain and beautiful works of art.
The de Merode family is one of the largest families that has been associated with most European courts throughout history. Since the 15th century, members of the House of Merode have held titles such as count, baron of the Holy Empire and prince. They are related to families such as Monaco, d'Arenberg, the Spanish and Italian royal families... The estate has been in the family since at least 1580.
The castle offers guided tours from April to October and promises a visit you will long remember!
