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!

The Église Notre-Dame De L’Assemption is a Catholic church located in the commune of Doingt, in the east of the Somme department, near Péronne. The church was built in the second quarter of the 20th century and was inaugurated on 26 October 1930. It was designed by the architect Maurice Quentin and is built in the Neo-Romanesque style with a traditional basilica plan. The facade of the church has features of Romanesque art, such as sober and narrow windows, buttresses, a circular portico with a typed sculpture representing the Virgin surrounded by angels, arched folds resting on a column on each side, and a rose window above the portico. The church has a massive and projecting bell tower which is reminiscent of Romanesque bell towers by its structure and sober decoration. The interior of the church is decorated with a mural by Gustave Riquet representing the Assumption of the Virgin. The church was restored in 2016-2017.

Doingt is a commune on the banks of the River Somme. The settlement was destroyed during the First World War. A Commonwealth cemetery is located just outside the town. The village and its church have been rebuilt and in 2023 a crucifix, rescued from the ruins of the village church by a British military chaplain after the Battle of the Somme and placed in All Saints’ Church, Tinwell in Rutland, England, was returned to the new church.

Whether on the Somme or on the canals: driving on the water is always pleasant. Water-rich area...

The creation of this cycle route is quite recent. The bitumen coating dates from 2019. Until that date, to make these 200 kilometers of journey, it was largely necessary to travel them on towpaths along the river. This allows for greater accessibility.

This cycle path to and from Saint-Quentin is only part of the much longer cycle path that follows this canal. It is a perfect way to cycle through the landscape car-free. Cycling along the canal you will come across locks several times, which makes cycling extra fun. Please note that the asphalt is not in good condition everywhere. There are many loose stones and sometimes the asphalt is broken or even gone (gravel). This is doable with a racing bike, but keep your eyes on the path.
