You set out from the World War I museum of Meaux. This innovative and interactive museum offers a fresh perspective on the First World War. If you don't visit it now, you can always explore the museum later, at the end of this Great War-themed bike loop. Before the flags of the 25 nations that fought in WWI, pedal down the bike path towards Meaux. Turn right onto the Ourcq Canal towpath, just after the canal bridge. At the next bridge, cross the canal and follow the road. Enjoy the climb! At the top, turn left at the small roundabout, then on the other side of the traffic light turn right onto Rue Yves Montand. At the end, continue straight on along the footpath. Cross the road (after duly stopping) and enter the agricultural plain via the opposite road. Pass under the trunk road and follow the grassy track to Penchard.
