Naours combines a rich underground heritage with activities at the windmill, high ropes course and mini golf course. There is one important restriction to bear in mind when planning: the underground site is closed for the entire 2026 season. So do not plan to visit the Underground City during this period. If your trip takes place later, check the visitor information then in effect.
The Underground City and its history
The Underground City comprises 28 galleries and almost 300 rooms. Numerous pieces of graffiti left by soldiers during the First World War add personal traces from wartime to the description of the complex. The scale of the site and the surviving inscriptions thus represent different aspects of its history. During the 2026 season, this part of Naours is closed to visitors and should not be included in your plans.
Windmill: building history and traditional craft
The windmill was built in 1620 and brought to Naours in 1963. It is listed in the supplementary register of historic monuments. The mill therefore brings together two historical reference points: its construction in the 17th century and its later relocation to Naours. A miller leads a tour revealing the secrets of the traditional milling craft; tour availability may vary. A maintained path leads to the windmill, and conditions on it may change.
High ropes course and mini golf
The courses at the high ropes park have different stated requirements. The “Kids” course is intended for children aged around five to six and older, and over one metre tall. The family course requires a height of 1.30 metres and includes numerous zip lines. Course requirements may change, so check the latest information before planning your visit.
The mini golf course has 18 holes and takes around an hour and a half to complete. This is an approximate planning estimate and may vary. The different activities therefore have different considerations: at the high ropes park, height and the requirements for each course are important; for mini golf, the approximate time needed is the main consideration.
Workshop, food and practical planning
The interpretation centre on soldiers of the First World War offers a workshop featuring objects, photographs and soldiers’ life stories. Workshop availability may vary. On site, the Brasserie des Muches serves full meals, sweet treats and coffee. The menu and service may change.
The Naours site has adapted access for people with reduced mobility, except at the windmill; accessible toilets are also available. As the windmill is not included in the adapted access, check the practical details before travelling if you rely on such access. Also bear in mind that conditions on the maintained path to the mill may change.
