The Beauvaisis Steam Train is a tourist railway created by the Museum of Steam Trams and French Secondary Railways (MTVS). It began operating in 2017 from Crèvecœur-le-Grand and runs along part of the old line from Saint-Omer-en-Chaussée to Vers, which is now approximately four kilometers long. Thanks to the work of volunteers, this historic train brings the era of steam trams back to life and offers a picturesque ride through the heart of the Oise countryside.

The entire greenway is very well done on gravel. It's a really pleasant path running alongside ponds. It's not as boring as some concrete cycle paths.

The statue of Jeanne Hachet impresses with its realistic depiction of the fighting woman! 😄

Leaving Beauvais to the northwest, the street and then the cycle path of the Saint-Quentin marsh, you quickly arrive at the superb body of water of Canada. It offers three kilometers of banks and a call for swimming in summer.

Located in the city center, this building dates back to the 15th century. A former medieval fortress, it was largely rebuilt during the Renaissance. The castle is famous for having hosted Francis I and Louis XIV for a night on July 15, 1680, in the north tower.

The Saint Pierre Cathedral has a remarkable astronomical clock (1865-1868) by Auguste-Lucien Vérité, who, before becoming a clockmaker, had already become known as an expert in organ building.

The Cathedral of Beauvais is one of the most important Gothic churches in France 🇫🇷!

It is always nice to meet old friends again, especially when it happens unexpectedly. When you enter the wonderful but only half-finished cathedral of Beauvais, you are greeted by the famous image of St. Peter from St. Peter's Basilica. This fits with the building's claim: the highest Gothic vault, the highest church tower, the largest church in France. However, it is a Gothic Babel: the vault and tower collapsed, and that was the end of money and Gothic architecture. The cathedral is a huge torso, the nave of which is a comparatively tiny Romanesque building that stands lost in front of the huge, centuries-old temporary dividing wall that the nave was supposed to replace.
