Be careful, this sector of the trouée d'Arenberg is taken in the opposite direction to Paris-Roubaix. All the cobbles that make up this sector are legendary: they stop you in your tracks, test your whole body and even your bike! One of cycling's most legendary venues

A super difficult sector! You just have to experience what the sector is like! Also a beautiful and green forest.

5 points for this sublime ordeal!?!?
Yes, if you climb the parallel path without cobbles, it's true, the percentage is insignificant. But if you ride on those devilish cobbles, I guarantee you that the effort is worth more than 5 points. And if you're there, it's to feel the cobbles. And really, the Arenberg cobbles are quite an experience! The forest is beautiful. There's something majestic about this long ribbon of irregular cobbles. These 2km are full of pitfalls. Especially with the 23mm tyres. That's when you remember that this is primarily a farm track...
The feeling that you're going to wreck your bike doesn't come from nowhere...
In short, there are the cobbles and then there are the cobbles of the North. And among the cobbles of the North, there are the cobbles of this strange Trouée.

Up there, the Arenberg pit of the Anzin mining company is impressive. I went there during the Paris-Roubaix and enjoyed myself.
Definitely worth a visit.

What an incredibly challenging cobbled section!!! The average cyclist will probably cycle most of it via the gravel/walking path, as it does look quite enticing.... otherwise a beautiful mythical setting, so maximum stars!!!

The most legendary cobbled sector ... Hands down.

And the most difficult of all, in my opinion. Having ridden 145km of the Paris-Roubaix Challenge 2022, the main difficulty of this sector is the state of the cobbles, not so much the length.
