Villers-Saint-Frambourg walks

Hike in a forest massif located on a hill and composed mainly of beech and oak trees. The southern and northern edges offer beautiful panoramic views of the Valois agricultural plateau and the Oise Valley.

This loop, starting from Villers-Saint-Frambourg, takes place in the Forêt d'Halatte. The paved forest roads follow the dirt tracks. We climb Mont Pagnotte via the south face. After a long descent, we go around the mountain to climb it again, but this time via the north face. The ascent is less difficult as it follows a beautiful path. After a long descent, we return to our starting point.

A walk around and on Mont Pagnotte focusing on its points of interest, notably five ancient fountains and a dolmen. An opportunity to discover a wide variety of forest habitats too. Places to see: Fontaine Blanche, Le Rocher au Sanglier, the Chancy Dolmen, Fontaine du Pied Dufaux, Fontaine Saint-Barthélemy, Fontaine d’Yvillers and finally Fontaine Aubert.

This hike allows you to discover the beautiful Halatte Forest with its oak and beech trees and to get close to some of its curiosities. They all bear witness to human presence and activity since the dawn of time. Along the route, on the heights of Mont Pagnotte, beautiful views await you.

Short walk in the Halatte National Forest from Fleurines via Mont Pagnotte and the hamlet of Saint Christophe. The former priory of Saint-Christophe is now the main feature of Fleurines' architectural heritage and is listed as a historic monument . The commune also boasts a rich natural and landscape heritage and is part of a natural area of ecological, faunistic and floristic interest (ZNIEFF). Since its creation in 2004, Fleurines has also been part of the Oise Pays de France Regional Nature Park.

This hike is long enough to showcase all aspects of the Halatte forest: tall beech and oak trees, coppice with oak trees and lime trees in the undergrowth, and large cultivated clearings, the largest of which is Fleurines. Most of the route follows the beautiful forest roads that were built several centuries ago.

From the keep of Montépilloy, you can admire the entire Valois plain and the Massif des Trois Forêts.

Former capital of the Sylvanectes Gauls, Senlis was known as Augustomagus in the 1st century, during the reign of the Roman Emperor Claudius. From the 3rd century onwards, thanks to its walls, the Gallo-Roman enclosure of Senlis was one of the best-preserved in northern Gaul. The date of construction has still not been determined. What remains certain, as was already established in the 19th century, is that the fortifications were built after the passage of the Germanic hordes in 275–276, and after the year 278, withstanding the barbarian invasions and later the Norman raids. Senlis boasts a history spanning ten centuries of virtually uninterrupted royal presence. The town was the site of a Merovingian and later Carolingian castle or palace from the early Middle Ages onwards; although it has completely disappeared and there is no definitive archaeological evidence, it is mentioned in numerous ancient deeds and documents.

This hike allows you to discover the biodiversity of the western part of the Halatte National Forest, including the different species of coniferous and deciduous trees that make it up. The route winds through a hilly massif that offers some beautiful views.
