31,59 km cycling route from Pont-Sainte-Maxence to Ermenonville/Ver-sur-Launette

Compiègne is set beside forests that extend as far as the Château de Pierrefonds, but leaving town by bike, the route sticks beside the Oise, passing its many river barges. It leads you on swiftly via some dozen lakes created by the sand-extracting industry. Several outdoor leisure centres have been set up around here, between Verberie and Pontpoint; they offer bathing, fishing, even water-skiing, as well as bird observatories and zones where pike can spawn… At Pontpoint, you leave the Oise River and the Route Stevenson®, riding past Le Moncel Royal Abbey to reach the well-shaded Halatte Forest. The Scandibérique route takes you here to a realm where the stag is king!
