Holiday apartment in Halinghen: Nature, trails and village history

A holiday apartment in Halinghen takes you to a village in the Haut Boulonnais, beyond the Boulonnais depression. For families, this can create a varied daily rhythm: while some focus on the trail and the panorama, others discover the village’s history. This allows you to shape your stay around activity, nature and culture without reducing the area to a single experience.

Haut Pichot and Mont Violette hiking trail

The Haut Pichot hiking trail is 28 kilometres long and offers a panorama. When planning your day, the 28 kilometres can be considered either as a longer hike or in stages. The section of the Le Haut Pichot trail in Halinghen leads into the village centre. It then follows the D 239 towards Carly for 100 metres before continuing along a path to Haut Pichot and Mont Violette. For orientation, this creates a sequence of village centre, road section and path. If you choose a holiday apartment in Halinghen with a focus on hiking, you can take the entire trail and its local route into account as different elements of your daily planning.

Landscape between grassy steppes and wooded hills

Within the territory of Halinghen, Mont de Landacques reaches an elevation of 177 metres. Another natural feature is ZNIEFF 310007275, which also extends across the municipality of Halinghen. In this area, grassy steppes and wooded hills alternate in a mosaic, while the terrain is gently undulating. For travellers interested in nature, this means that the focus is not only on one particular landscape feature, but also on the interplay between open and wooded forms. The gentle terrain draws attention to this changing landscape and complements the more activity-oriented approach offered by the hiking trail.

The Church of Saint-Sylvestre in the centre of Halinghen was rebuilt in 1860/61. Inside, there is a 1st-century altar dedicated to Jupiter, bearing witness to the Roman era. A stylistic analysis also suggests that Halinghen parish church dates from the late 19th or early 20th century. The building known as “les 40 000 briques” is a former defensive battery. The site of “les 40 000 briques” is described as a launch point for hang-gliding.

The chapel of Halinghen is located in the hamlet of Niembourg. The stone chapel of Niembourg has a rectangular floor plan and a flat-ended choir. Two pointed-arch windows in this chapel have retained their stained glass. Together with the hiking trail and the natural environment, this means you can shape your stay in Halinghen more towards trails and landscapes or towards architectural history and historical traces.
