The guides have colour extracts from the French topographic survey at 1:25,000 or 1:50,000 overprinted with local hiking routes. Each guide offers a selection of day walks of different length and difficulty of terrain, all clearly graded.

Several titles also include a section of a long-distance GR route or a shorter GRP (GR de Pays) route or circuit.

The descriptions provide information on various places of interest along the routes and directions for special points marked on the accompanying maps. All the text is in French, but there is also a fair amount of information conveyed by symbols: waymarking, parking facilities, villages with local shops, cafes and restaurants, etc. Most guides have numerous colour photos and drawings of local flora and fauna.

Guides with day walks are indicated on the accompanying series grid by yellow, blue or green boxes.

In this title: 39 walks, including seven in central Lille, one each in Roubaix and Tourcoing, and one route in Armentières, all shown on detailed street plans. Also a walk along the Canal du Roubaix between Roubaix and Tourcoing, with the remaining routes in the outer suburbs or in the surrounding countryside.
