In the southern part of the Compiègne State Forest, a figure-of-eight walk with two very different circular loops. A first short loop takes you through the hamlet of Champlieu with the remains of its Romanesque chapel and allows you to visit a beautiful Gallo-Roman site (theatre, thermal baths, temple). The second, longer loop is mainly through woodland.

Fourteenth stage, entirely in the Aisne department, of the Grand Tour of Île-de-France via the GR®11, between the stations of Villers-Cotterêts and La Ferté-Milon. During this stage, we switch to the eastern side of Île-de-France, leaving the Oise basin to reach the Ourcq valley and the Marne basin.As the stage is short, a small (optional) circular in Villers-Cotterêts is suggested at the start, to discover the magnificent park of its equally magnificent château. It can be done after the previous stage completed the day before, with an overnight stay in Villers-Cotterêts.
