The Cirkwi brief

Explore Cycling Delights: Pantin to Écouen Journey
Embark on a captivating cycling journey, curated by the Grand Roissy Tourist Office, through the scenic routes connecting Pantin to Écouen. This itinerary promises an unforgettable escape into the lush landscapes that frame the quaint villages dotting this route. Imagine pedaling alongside the serene Canal de l’Ourcq, wandering through the verdant expanse of the Poudrerie Forest Park, and basking in the charm of historical landmarks like the Domaine de Chantilly. Elevate your cycling adventure with this meticulously designed path, blending natural beauty with cultural richness, offering more than just a ride - an experience.

Brief Technical Overview of Route
The cycling route stretches over approximately 110 kilometers, navigating through elevations that range from a minimum of 28 meters to a peak of 152 meters above sea level. Riders are challenged with a total positive elevation gain of 15029 meters. Crafted for seasoned cyclists and adventurers alike, this circuit tests endurance and rewards with panoramic vistas. The path’s composition is balanced, featuring secure bike lanes, occasional town crossings, and stretches along rural roads, making it an engaging pathway for those seeking to experience the varied topography of the region.

Seasonal Tips for Cyclists
As your local guide, I recommend embracing this cycling adventure in spring or early autumn to relish the temperate climate and the vibrant hues that adorn our landscapes. Summer rides are equally splendid, though I advise starting early to avoid the midday heat. Always carry ample water, regardless of the season, and familiarize yourself with local eateries along the route. Safety comes first; hence, reflective gear and helmets are a must, especially for the less visible sections of the route and during autumn's shorter days.

Heart of History: Pantin to Écouen
The Pantin to Écouen cycling journey not only offers a splendid natural backdrop but also traverses through regions steeped in rich history and cultural heritage. Pantin, with its roots in the industrial era, serves as the starting point, leading to Écouen, renowned for its Renaissance Castle - a symbol of French cultural resurgence. Along the way, cyclists encounter historical gems such as the Abbey of Royaumont and the Domaine de Chantilly, each narrating tales of France's glorious past. This route does more than connect two points; it bridges centuries of history and culture.

Meteorological Insights for Budding Cyclists
The climate in our region ranges from mild to moderate, making it ideal for year-round cycling adventures. However, the optimal time to embark on this journey is between late spring and early autumn. During these months, you'll experience comfortable temperatures, minimal rainfall, and ample daylight - perfect conditions for cycling enthusiasts. While winters are generally mild, they can introduce unpredictable weather changes, hence planning and checking forecasts in advance is advisable to ensure a pleasant trip.

Eglise Saint-Côme-et-Saint-Damien

L'église paroissiale St Côme et St Damien témoigne par son chevet de cinq siècles d'architecture, du XIème au XVIème siècle. Une grande partie du mobilier intérieur évoque les Saints Côme et Damien. Elle est classée Monument Historique en 1912.Construite sur un ancien édifice gallo-romain puis carolingien dédié à St Barthélémy, elle apparaît dès le VIIIème siècle sous le vocable de St Côme – St Damien, frères jumeaux, patrons des médecins. Son aspect pittoresque est dû à la juxtaposition harmonieuse d'éléments romans, gothiques puis de la Renaissance. La façade ouest, œuvre de l'architecte Nicolas de Saint-Michel, achevée en 1551 est la partie la plus remarquable. Le portail, richement décoré, est typique de la 2ème renaissance. Une grand partie du mobilier intérieur évoque les St-Côme et Damien (peintures, sculpture,.....) L’église de Luzarches est placée sous le double vocable de saint Côme et de saint Damien, frères jumeaux du Moyen-Orient au IIIème siècle. L’origine de ce patronage assez rare est attestée dès le VIIIème siècle. En effet un diplôme de Charlemagne daté de 775 mentionne à Luzarches une église « in honore. S. Cosmae et Damiani ». A la fin du XIIème siècle, Jean de Beaumont, seigneur de Luzarches, rapporte leurs reliques de Terre Sainte. C’est alors que leur culte se développe. Il fonde en 1180 une collégiale dans le haut de la ville qu’il place sous le vocable de saint Côme. Dès lors, l’église du bas porte le seul nom de saint Damien. Ce n’est qu’après la désaffection de cette collégiale en 1790 que l’église retrouve son double vocable. En 1320, les corporations des médecins, chirurgiens et pharmaciens de Paris et de Luzarches se réunissent, sous le patronage de ces saints guérisseurs, en une seule confrérie de piété dont les membres s’engageaient à consulter gratuitement le 1er lundi de chaque mois. Elle se perpétue jusqu’à la fin du XIXème siècle.

Royaumont - abbey & fondation

In 1228, Saint Louis and his mother Blanche de Castille established the Abbey of Royaumont, today still the largest Cistercian abbey of Ile-de-France. Listed as a historical monument, the abbey has one of the most beautiful examples of Gothic refectory in France. The 7 hectares park, crossed by canals, is labelled "Remarkable garden" by the French Minister of Culture. It has conserved some of its medieval features and today has three gardens: an experimental vegetable garden, opened in 2014, a medieval inspiration garden, and the garden of the monastery transformed into a ravishing French garden in 1912. The abbey is open every day, from 10 am to 6 pm (5:30 pm between November and March). Royaumont Abbey also offers guided visits, heritage and garden activities for children and families every Sunday throughout the year, and holds a music and dance Festival every year in September and October.In 1228, Saint Louis and his mother Blanche de Castille established the Abbey of Royaumont, today still the largest Cistercian abbey of Ile-de-France.
