Autreppes – Guise
This stage continues along the Axe vert de la Thiérache to Guise. Fortified churches, mills still mark this beautiful hedged farmland route. A visit to the Familistère de Guise, a “social palace” for housing workers built in the 19th century by Jean-Baptiste-André Godin, is a must.
