マリジー＝サン＝マールのおすすめMTBライド

The towpath that crosses La Ferté Milon is a must. As the section is closed to bicycle traffic, it is a must-see hiking trail, rather than a must-see mountain bike trail; and given the terrain, it would even be more Gravel than mountain bike, if bicycles were allowed to circulate. The Ruins of the Castle is a good place to stop: for the history, the panoramic view and the restaurant.

While strolling along the Canal de l'Ourcq, you will pass by the Marolles lock with an interesting view of the canal, the lock, an island, the church and the castle. https://aufildelourcq.org/index.php https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marolles_(Oise)

The Château d'Oigny-en-Valois is a monument located in the commune of Oigny-en-Valois It is listed as a Historic Monument. It opens its doors exclusively to the European Heritage Days. https://officiel-galeries-musees.fr/lieu/chateau-doigny-en-valois/

Along the towpath, the view opens up for a moment onto the church of Mareuil-sur-Ourcq which stands on the other side of the canal. This Gothic-style building was built in three stages starting in the 13th century.

Magnificent lock on the Ourcq canal at the eponymous village. It is surrounded by a beautiful green setting which gives it even more charm.

We arrive by the towpath along the canal, then we see the church of Mareuil... Very bucolic.

Greenway passage, friendly

very touristy, home of Jean Racine
