ヴァセニーのおすすめツーリングルート

Pedestrian and cyclist bridge over the Aisne River. The name, "Passerelle des Anglais," refers to the important role the British played in the liberation of Soissons in 1918 and in the reconstruction of the city after the First World War, including the reconstruction of the original bridge, which was destroyed by the German army.

New footbridge much wider than the old one.

The banks of the Aisne accessible by bike 👍

Beautiful town house hotel

The Chapelle Sainte-Marguerite in Bucy-le-Long is a charming 12th-century Romanesque building surrounded by an ancient cemetery that gives it an almost timeless feel. Although badly damaged during the First World War, it was lovingly restored and was listed as a monument in 19202. Inside, you’ll find a mix of period features and modern additions, including colorful stained glass windows depicting the life of Saint Margaret. Local legend has it that even Joan of Arc once stopped here—a place where history and legend collide.

The coat of arms of Bucy-le-Long is a historical coat of arms with elegant symbolism: “D’azur à la bande d’or accompagnée de trois fleurons d’or, deux rangés en chief, un en pointe.” That is to say: a blue shield with a diagonal gold band, accompanied by three gold floral motifs—two at the top and one at the bottom2. This coat of arms is derived from that of Thierry II, Knight of Bucy in the 13th century, whose grandson Simon Matifas became Bishop of Paris and enriched the family coat of arms with these fleurons as a symbol of his ecclesiastical dignity. A fine piece of heraldry that reflects the medieval roots of the village.

Founded in 1139 on the site of an older community of secular canons, the abbey is named after Saint Léger of Autun. The Gothic cloister and Romanesque crypt are well preserved. Today, the complex houses the Musée municipal de Soissons and is a major heritage site in the city centre.

Ailette Lake is a haven of tranquility surrounded by greenery. Its calm and clear waters invite you to relax, whether for a stroll along the lake, a canoe trip or a picnic break. The preserved natural setting offers magnificent views of the surrounding wooded hills and the developed beaches.
