Bresles and its church at the bend of the V16a

beautiful village

Very pretty

The garden of the Château de Bresles, which belonged to Odet de Coligny, was famous during the Renaissance for its beauty and its canals; Queen Catherine de Medici loved to stroll there.

From 1910 onwards, the French tyre manufacturer Michelin (also known for its road maps or the awarding of stars to restaurants for exceptional cuisine) was looking for a way to provide specific information to drivers at intersections. The idea was a corner bollard (French name: Borne d'Angle), on which the directions of travel and distances to towns could be indicated centrally. The Borne d'Angle was intended to focus the driver's attention at the intersection. The Michelin traffic signs have now almost completely disappeared from French streets. Their removal is currently being pushed further. A few examples have survived the test of time in places that are difficult to access, particularly where they are not a safety concern or where there are difficulties in removing them.

The castle of Bresles was the residence of the bishops of Beauvais, it is currently the town hall of Bresles which resides there. Only vestiges of the medieval fortress remain and the current castle was built at the beginning of the 18th century. It is composed of two wings at right angles with two floors surmounted by attics and a hipped roof. The entrance porch and the bastion surrounding the courtyard of the town hall are said to be the oldest parts.

This is the remains of the old door of the Cordeliers convent of Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde, a former Catholic building constructed between the 13th and 15th centuries.

Located in the Oise department, this 2,800-hectare forest massif offers a wonderful playground for nature lovers. Cyclists, don't miss its famous Escargot hill.
