Magnificent place along the canal for a peaceful ride. Even though the cycle path is not in impeccable condition in some places.

Nice, yes, calm and peaceful... 4 km in line with the runway of CDG airport, the noise of planes taking off every 2 minutes at an altitude of a few hundred meters is infernal, even during breaks. How the locals manage 24/7 is beyond me...

It's very easy to ride, although there are sometimes steeper inclines, which are even equipped with speed bumps perpendicular to the roadway to slow down cyclists descending. This, of course, has a negative impact on the arduous climb. You also have to watch out for the many pedestrians.

A large and beautiful square with a church and a café. A town with pretty houses. Quiet, very quiet, but ideal for a mid-trip break!
