Dogs

We couldn't find any published dog rules for this place. Around Lille most places with known rules ask for a lead, so check the signs. In France a dog counts as straying if it's out of earshot or more than 100 m from you.

You're responsible for your dog. Before you let it off the lead, read the signs at the entrance, look out for livestock and roads, and make sure it will come back when called.
