Here we have a path along the Ourcq canal, ideal for relaxing the legs during the circuit. The setting is fairly well preserved. The trees provide a beautiful shade that we appreciate a lot in summer. On rainy days, the gravel does a good job of filtering water, so low-tech shoes will be more than enough for the terrain.

Magnificent Ourcq canal that starts from Paris and ends in Silly-La-Poterie in the Aisne department and crosses 5 departments. It takes about 110 kilometers to connect it from start to finish, but it is definitely worth doing.

This is clearly a former towpath (also known as a "chemin de halage"), running alongside the canal bed, parallel to the man-made waterway. In earlier times, such paths were an indispensable part of the transportation infrastructure. Before ships could be propelled by motors, horses walked along the banks, pulling the vessels against the current. This was called "treideln," and that's how towpaths got their name, which has been passed down to this day. Where these paths, running close to the banks, have been preserved, they are popular with hikers, walkers, joggers, and cyclists.
