The "souffle de la terre" (breath of the earth), a night-time sound and light show, illuminates this route between the lake and the charming little church of Berny.

A 10 km hike where you will see castles, churches, dovecotes...

The 83 doors and windows of Guyencourt sur Noye Castle give you a taste of what to expect at Remiencourt Castle. Follow the sunken lanes.

Through the Saint-Ladre Nature Reserve and its specially designed route, you will discover the frogs that live in the ponds.

This hike takes you along a section of the GR®123 between Clairy-Saulchoix and Saveuse. This pleasant route crosses varied landscapes combining fields and forests. The route follows a section of the long-distance hiking trail linking Contes (Pas-de-Calais) to Carlepont (Oise), and offers a detour to the commune of Ferrières, with its peaceful forest and shaded paths, ideal for a nature break on the outskirts of Amiens.

A short walk around Boves to get a glimpse of the rolling, wooded landscape of the Picardy countryside. You will then discover the marshes of the Saint-Ladre pond nature reserve.

This is a pleasant walk to discover one of the most beautiful villages in France, Gerberoy. The walk mainly follows paths along the edge of forests or through woodland, making it a peaceful walk.

Beauvais has a rich history, with many reminders of the past in the heart of the city, which this urban route invites you to discover. You will appreciate the many half-timbered houses, cobbled streets, the Romanesque Church of Saint-Étienne and, as a highlight, the Gothic Cathedral of Saint-Pierre, which rises skywards in a single sweep.

A lovely walk through pastures, hedgerow paths and forests of many different species, including some beautiful large trees, some of which are certainly centuries old. It is also an opportunity to pass through two beautiful villages with pretty half-timbered houses, often brightly coloured and with flower-filled gardens.

A short memorial hike to visit the most impressive mine crater of the Great War, the result of an explosion that took place on 1 July 1916, the day the Battle of the Somme began. A well-maintained memorial site with numerous information panels.

This route partly follows an old marked trail (the Volpin) which seems to have disappeared (there are a few markings near Marieux). It would appear that in the north of the Somme, the lifespan of marked trails is as short as that of hares. It is of course possible to do only 17 km (by turning left at point 11), but the small northern circular route is very interesting. There are very few roads and the paths are very good, but sometimes very grassy. The route will change in May 2024, as the path between the cemetery and the church is currently blocked.

Hike in the Merlemont Woods, with lots of woods and little road traffic.

Discover two contrasting natural environments: the dry limestone grasslands covering the hill of Mont César and the marshes below. A varied route through the forest, poplar groves and fields.

A memorial hike in territory that became Canadian after the First World War, in tribute to the soldiers from the island of Newfoundland who were engaged here on the day the Battle of the Somme began (1 July 1916) and of whom the vast majority were killed or wounded. A moving, well-maintained route with well-preserved remains.

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.

The Hez-Froidmont forest was created in 1869 by combining the Hez (1,413 ha) and Froidmont (259 ha) state forests with the Saint-Lucien, Saint-Thibault and La Verrière reserves, which were originally owned by the church. Covering a single area of 2,796 hectares (with the exception of the Belle Fille valley, which is 100 metres away from the forest and represents a small 10-hectare canton), it stretches 9 kilometres from east to west and 6 kilometres from north to south.

A memorial hike through iconic sites of the Battle of the Somme (July-November 1916). Several military cemeteries line the route, with the Ulster Tower and the imposing Franco-British memorial adding a solemn touch.

A lovely walk on the borders of Pas-de-Calais and the Somme.You'll discover the pretty Quilienne river (which did a lot of damage in 2016) and the Bois de Saint-Pierre (woods). It's possible to add one or two extensions, so that the trail can exceed 22km (see practical info).
