Departure from Choisy-au-Bac (Oise)
This easy circular walk between Choisy-au-Bac and Rethondes will allow you to discover the banks of the Aisne and the beautiful gardens of Francport, then the pretty little village of Rethondes, near the clearing where the 1914-18 armistice was signed, before returning to Choisy-au-Bac via the Laigue Forest and the Château des Bonshommes, ending at the little Chapelle des Trois Chênes, which is awash with wild blue hyacinths in the last fortnight of April.

Departure from Coudun (Oise)
This shaded mountain bike trail starts in the town of Coudun and heads towards Compiègne via the greenway, then runs alongside the Oise river to Jaux. It crosses the Oise via the Jaux footbridge and enters the forest. It joins the Francport at the Aisne bridge, then crosses the Oise again via an unusual bridge on the Oise Canal at the Longueil-Annel locks. It then heads towards Mont Ganelon, descends to Clairoix and ends in Coudun.

Departure from Beaumont-Hamel (Somme)
This list includes several hikes that pay tribute to soldiers of all nationalities who fought in the First World War. More than a century later, certain remnants still bear witness to the appalling conditions in which they lived. In the list, these hikes are classified according to the front line, from north to south and then from west to east.
