Superb walk on a mountain in the heart of a forest that feels rich in history. Varied with forest, countryside and village. I recommend without hesitation.

The Cathedral of Notre-Dame de Noyon is an impressive Gothic building in the heart of Noyon, in the Oise department. Built between 1145 and 1235, the cathedral is a major religious and cultural monument. It exemplifies the transition from Romanesque to Gothic architecture. The cathedral is 103.11 meters long (exterior) and 91.33 meters (interior), with a nave height of 22.73 meters. The interior is richly decorated with works of art and features a magnificent Merklin organ from 1898. The cathedral also has a Louis XVI-style high altar.

The Chapter Library in Noyon is a historic library built in 1506 by Jacques de la Viefville, the dean of Noyon. The library is located on Place Corbault, near the Notre-Dame de Noyon Cathedral. This library has wooden wall shelves. The "hell" was the room in the library where the works on the index of forbidden books were kept.

During the First World War, on 29 August 1914, German troops attempted to cross the village bridge, but were repulsed by the 3rd and 5th Cavalry Brigades of the British Expeditionary Force and the 10th REGION of Saint-Quentin.

The complex of buildings surrounding Notre-Dame Cathedral is one of the earliest examples of Gothic architecture. You can admire the cathedral's rich liturgical furnishings, the elegant canons' residences, the remains of the episcopal chapel, and the chapter library, one of the oldest in Europe. You'll also discover the history of Noyon, the ancient episcopal city that witnessed the coronation of Charlemagne and the birth of John Calvin. The cathedral chapter of Noyon is a true treasure trove of art and history that will delight both the eyes and the mind.

If you are looking for a peaceful and picturesque hike in Aisne, you can discover the Boucle de l'Etang Montplaisir.

The hike is approximately 5 km and takes approximately an hour and a half. You can leave from the car park located near Chemin de la Pature. Happy hiking!
