A very varied hike in terms of scenery, around the Plan d?eau du Canada and the Bois Brûlet. The route alternates between open stretches and forest paths, a busy section around the Plan d?eau du Canada and quieter sections in the forest.

This route was built on a former railway sidetrack. It offers a beautiful recreational area, from the gates of Beauvais to the hedged farmland and wet meadows of the Pays de Bray and then Normandy. The route follows the banks of the Thérain river, past post-war buildings and glimpses of Saint-Pierre cathedral, an unfinished Gothic masterpiece, before joining the Avelon river, its small bridges and ancient mills, and the Saint-Paul amusement park. The route then offers a variety of bucolic landscapes: ponds, beautiful farms and small houses that remind us that Normandy is close at hand. Numerous gaps through the curtains of trees and shrubs reveal fields and pastures of varied colors. To the west of Lachapelle-aux-Pots, the verges are wooded and much shadier. At Saint-Germer-de-Fly, the greenway leaves the Oise to join the Seine-Maritime.

Let the salamander guide you through 2,000 years of Beauvais history, from the Gallo-Roman ramparts to the Quadrilatère and, of course, the cathedral. Throughout the tour, you'll find explanatory panels to complete your visit. On each panel, additional information is available via smartphone. Caution: bring flat shoes, as there are some cobbled streets.

This tour will show you how past architecture has been integrated into contemporary urban design. Open your eyes wide and admire every detail.

We offer a choice of 3 tours of the historic town, each covering a different part of the city center.

From the Middle Ages to the 20th century, education was very much alive in Beauvais, with illustrious pupils including Jean Racine and Félix Faure. The town still boasts some monumental lycées, or "school palaces", reflecting the important debates on public education at the end of the 19th century.

This greenway follows the forest paths of the magnificent beech-oak forest of Hez-Froidmont. Currently managed by the ONF, this forest, like most others in the Isère region, has royal ancestry. Along the way, you'll see a statue of Saint-Louis watching over the village of La Neuville en-Hez. Indeed, the sovereign is said to have been born in the castle of this peaceful village. Stop off at the charming little town of Bresles! Discover its many monuments, including the 13th-century château-fort, now the town hall but formerly the residence of the bishops of Beauvais. Admire the 10th-century church of Saint-Gervais et Saint Prothais, with its Carolingian nave. Stroll through the town's narrow streets and lick the windows of its various shops. En route, stop off at the town of Clermont, which boasts a beautiful 13th-century church, a town hall with atypical architecture and a very pleasant town center! This greenway will take you on a journey through bucolic landscapes and soothing forests!

A special place, assembling a collection of objects associated with the famous French composer in the house where he was born: Claude Debussy's birthplace is located in the historic quarter of Saint-Germain-en-Laye. It was in this 17-century house in the town that Claude Debussy was born, on 22 August 1862, and spent his early childhood. His father ran a china shop on the ground floor. After the composer's death in 1918, it soon became the main gathering place of his many admirers. Once inside, you will discover a wonderful little inner courtyard, where a splendid wooden staircase will lead you up to the museum. The museum, officially recognised as a 'Maison des illustres' ('Houses of the Famous'), displays objects and photographs that help provide a better understanding of the composer's creative process. In fact, Debussy liked to surround himself with objects from different places and artistic movements, which influenced his music. For example, a Japanese lacquered panel, which came from his Parisian mansion, depicting two fish swimming under a willow, musically metamorphosed into 'Poissons d'or', a piano piece (1907). A small museum but a grand tribute to one of France's greatest composers!

In the town center lies a real gem of Gournay's heritage, the Rue du Rempart with its fortifications and tower. A fortified town from the Middle Ages, Gournay retains few traces of its past. Only this tower, the conical base of another and the ditches remain of this defensive structure. Both a stronghold and a seigneurial residence, these fortifications lost their usefulness after the Wars of Religion. The ditches were sold to private individuals, and the gates were successively destroyed.

It is in the heart of the Pays de Bray, that the Department of Seine-Maritime has granted in 2021 its label "Rural Heritage" to the war memorial of the charming village of Cuy-Saint-Fiacre. Let's go for its discovery! I set off early on the roads of Bray to enjoy the spectacle of undulating landscapes, green fields where cows and other animals graze, real postcards of Normandy. As a history and geography teacher, the study of international conflicts and the duty of remembrance is a regular part of the lessons I give to my students. Also, the discovery of this war memorial which recently obtained a distinction makes me curious. When I arrived in Cuy-Saint-Fiacre, I perceived the town as a place where life is good. Indeed, everything is superbly arranged; and I only have to follow the directional signs to find the church with the war memorial. I pass in front of the town hall and park on the parking lot of the community hall. I enjoy the scent of roses along the low wall of the church which leads me to the gate of the cemetery. I push one of the doors and in front of me, placed on its pedestal, I discover the monument in homage to the soldiers of Cuy-Saint-Fiacre who died for France. This is the one that has just been labeled "Rural heritage of the Seine-Maritime". After the armistice of 1914, all the villages of France wished to pay tribute to their children who died during the First World War by erecting monuments to the dead. I walk slowly and remember as a child with my classmates in the cemetery of my town. On November 11, the day of the Armistice, we would go one by one to lay our bouquet of flowers at the foot of the war memorial. There, we listened with attention to the speech of the Mayor! What memories! I suppose and hope that the children of the commune of Cuy-Saint-Fiacre continue to come to pay homage to these men who gave their lives for the nation. On the pedestal, I see the four shells linked by chains, completed by two steps which form the base of the monument. Three golden sprays placed at the foot of the monument complete the decor. I note the presence of many symbols related to the theme of war: a flag, a war cross, palms, military ornaments. The Latin cross on which are engraved the names of the children of the village sacrificed for France is topped by an Adrian helmet, symbol of the modern war. At the top, as if ready to fly away, I can see the rooster with its wings open. All this has an impressive side! The singularity of this monument is in its sobriety, its purity of lines, its smooth and round forms and its immaculate hard stone from Euville in the Meuse. The realization of this work is extraordinary. Its sculptor is none other than François Pompon, an animal artist who owns a house near the church and the cemetery of Cuy-Saint-Fiacre. The career of this sculptor is very prestigious: originally from Burgundy, he worked in many sculptors' studios, notably that of Rodin, and his works can be found in the most beautiful museums in the world, both in Europe and in the United States. I understand better the distinction obtained by this monument, which differs from many other commemorative sculptures that I have seen. I take a few pictures to illustrate my next classes and I take a few minutes to read the information given by the interpretation totem next to it. This discovery made me curious to discover the other sites labeled "Rural Heritage" by the Department. And I hope to discover some other nuggets!
