Marche des Galopins: 18 km group walk through the Gaume countryside
A friendly 18 km hike starting from a local church, packed lunch and collective atmosphere guaranteed.

A walk among hikers
On June 13, 2026, the Marche des Galopins brings together hiking enthusiasts for 18 kilometers through the countryside. Meet at 10:30 AM in the parking lot of a church (the exact village will be specified closer to the date). Free, no prior registration required: just show up with good shoes and your packed lunch.
The Gaume spirit
This type of group walk is part of the local tradition of Sunday strolls, where people take the time to discover paths and hedgerows in good company. The route likely crosses meadows, woods and hamlets, in this region where the rolling landscapes are perfectly suited for walking. The atmosphere is relaxed, open to all levels accustomed to this distance format.
Practical tips
Plan for 4 to 5 hours of walking depending on your pace, including picnic break. Bring plenty of water, a snack and something to cover yourself in case of changing weather. If you're staying in our gîtes, check the exact departure location a few days before: Gaume has several villages with churches, and the meeting point will be confirmed on local channels. A great opportunity to meet locals and see the region differently than by car.
