A very pleasant walk along the canal in Rieval and a war memorial. Motorhome area departure point

Magnificent walk along the water, then visit the underground canal along the canal in a path between the trees with holes, bumps and bends (a real treat) to finish with a nice route in the Holnon woods. I recommend it. To do either as a walk or at speed, the choice is yours!

A beautiful, tree-lined trail around the Saint-Quentin Canal. An easy, family-friendly route. Enjoy your walk.

Voies Navigables de France operates the Tronquoy river tunnel (1,098 m) on the Saint-Quentin canal, which dates from the beginning of the 19th century.

Joncourt British Cemetery is a serene military cemetery located in Joncourt, France, and contains the graves of British soldiers who died during the First World War. Designed by William Cowlishaw, the cemetery is situated on the road from Joncourt to Levergies, approximately half a mile south of the village centre1. With a rectangular plan and surrounded by a stone wall, the cemetery provides a peaceful place for reflection. The Cross of Sacrifice, a hallmark of British military cemeteries, stands in the western corner1. The graves of 61 soldiers, three of whom are unidentified, belong to the 10th Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders1. The cemetery is lovingly maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, who ensure that the memory of these soldiers is kept alive.

One of the unfortunately many small cemeteries following the terrible First World War that raged here in the early 20th century. Around Oncourt you will find several of these cemeteries, as well as bunkers from that time. A sad past.
