the classic route along the Ourcq canal

This is clearly a former towpath (also known as a "chemin de halage"), running alongside the canal bed, parallel to the man-made waterway. In earlier times, such paths were an indispensable part of the transportation infrastructure. Before ships could be propelled by motors, horses walked along the banks, pulling the vessels against the current. This was called "treideln," and that's how towpaths got their name, which has been passed down to this day. Where these paths, running close to the banks, have been preserved, they are popular with hikers, walkers, joggers, and cyclists.

Roman Catholic cathedral built in the Gothic style between the 12th and 16th centuries AD. It has the title of a minor basilica and is dedicated to St. Stephen.

Regarding the ban on bicycles on the banks of the canal and the people (Sunday walkers) who are complaining: this is a warning from the City of Paris (and not from the police, who have no jurisdiction) in case an accident occurs, it is a "discharge of liability". You should know that the canal is maintained all year round (mowing, strengthening the banks, pruning) with many vehicles present (trucks, tractors, excavators). They have priority, they are working and are not likely to let you pass if they want, for service reasons. So at that moment, you will be told that yes, there are prohibition signs and that you are not supposed to be there for your leisure. That said, as usual, common sense, politeness and respect for others will resolve 95% of potential conflicts, no point in crying scandal without knowing...

Magnificent Ourcq canal that starts from Paris and ends in Silly-La-Poterie in the Aisne department and crosses 5 departments. It takes about 110 kilometers to connect it from start to finish, but it is definitely worth doing.
