Hiking Picardie

A vast selection of different nature outings, all with two things in common: the passion of our guides and the exceptional setting of the Baie de Somme. Depending on your tastes and desires, you can embark on a crossing of the bay (from Le Crotoy or Saint-Valery), meet birds and seals, admire the high tides or, for bird lovers, explore the Grand-Laviers bird sanctuary. In short, an ideal opportunity to discover the Baie de Somme from the delightful angle of nature!

Accessible to all for 7 years, only, with family or friends, do not hesitate to discover with the state-patented instructors the joys of this sports hobby. As a result of a quick initiation on a marked route, they will take you to the discovery of the Parc Park and its 25 km of wild beach… And for addicts, through the hikes, technical complements will be brought to improve your level of practice in order to be closer to nature. Ozone also organizes nautical hikes and towed buoy.

A short loop, very low differences and beautiful views: This is what attracts the most reluctant to walk on foot! The promenade we are offering you is evolving on the Chemin des Dames, the flagship site of the First World War. We are very appreciative of the few interpretive signs that go on the course: if history lessons are a little (too) distant, they remind us of the major points. As you will understand, this discovery tour combines the useful to the pleasant, and is strongly recommended for families with children or adolescents.

For you, we have selected two beautiful hikes starting from Fère-en-Tardenois. You can download the information sheet on the website www.randonner.fr : Le grès qui va boire. The walk will take you to the fortress of Nesles and the elegant castle of Fère. The latter is said to have served as a model for the construction of Chenonceau. The Aisne by bike: in the land of the Claudels. From the family home, you will ride down to the ruins of Val-Chrétien. Discover the former abbey of the Prémontrés order. Finally, go to the rocks of the Hottée du Diable.

Several walks to do in the surroundings. The Bois Semé circuit starts at the Basilica Notre-Dame de Liesse, passes through the Grand Marais and then from Saint-Boëtien and returns by the village of Missy-lès-Pierrepont and Bois Semé. The circuit of the Ru of the Buze is shorter, it crosses the marshes, along the canals and the ru of the Buze. The hiking of Saint-Boëtien extends from Chivres to Mâchecourt, bypassing the Château-château du Marais and gradually sinking into the funds of the Saint-Boëtien marsh. Finally, St. Augustine's walk, taking to the laonnoise plain, passes through the marshes before continuing in the agricultural field of Sainte-Suzanne. You can choose!

A hike in the Champagne vineyards is a discovery in several stages. Set off on a 44-kilometer hike (approx. 13h) in the heart of the Champagne vineyards. Discover the Marne river, the Dhuys aqueduct, Château-Thierry, the Essômes-sur-Marne abbey church and winegrowing villages. This itinerary takes you to the heart of the wine-growing area closest to Paris, through rolling countryside, picturesque villages and vineyards as far as the eye can see. Enjoy a well-deserved glass of champagne at any of the estates you visit!

Since January 2012, the association has opened an antenna in Guignicourt. A new one that should delight walkers. The association organizes an average of 200 trips per year, but also stays from 3 to 8 days for the most for. Its president, Daniel Kutarasinski, will welcome you with a smile, and you will soon no longer be able to spend the convivial atmosphere in the group of walkers. Go hop, we enflie his shoes, and we go!

Before you start your walk along the Ourcq Canal, we invite you to take the time to stroll through the picturesque streets and streets of the village, and enjoy the convivial charm of its classified historical heart. Architectural treasures abound: Admire for example the castle, the towers, the churches of Notre-Dame and Saint-Nicolas, the old mill or the Eiffel Bridge; it would almost be like staying there! However, the rest of the circuit is just as pleasant. You will join Silly-la-Poterie and pass in front of its castle and church.

Because between the diversity of plant species and the few animals you can see this and there by making you discreet, this promenade has a small paradise of greenery!

This walk begins in Chamouille and takes you to the (re) discovery of Neuville-sur-Blade and its surroundings. The loop bypasses the village, giving you a few pretty panoramas on the Laonnois. On the way, don't miss the House of Nature in Neuville: if the heart tells you and you have some time, it deserves a short stop. But by the way, do you know what a creute is? If you didn't know, this term refers to these rather unusual underground caves in the Aisne department (and you will cross on your road): the military occupied them during the First World War.

Olivier, your guide, is fascinated by nature and migratory birds. He specializes in environmental engineering and offers you a dozen tours: a trip to the cliffs of Ault, the seals of Hourdel, crossing the Baie de Somme, the grand tour of Marquenterre, the wonders of the Baie d'Authie, the magic of the waves... The hikes range from half-day to full-day, and the way he describes the places and unveils their secrets captures everyone's attention.

Nature outings, micro-adventures, walks in the bay: Maxim Marzi, a passionate guide, will help you discover this still wild nature through several walks starting at 2h30. If you're lucky, you'll come face to face with seals, and discover the treasures of the area: strange pebbles, mud, birds and more. The more athletic can try their hand at wading through mud, climbing micro-cliffs and walking on salt meadows. Snacks provided and equipment available on loan!

A panorama where mountains and river meanders mix, in the heart of the Somme, a small path on the hillside where some greedy goats graze: this is the program offered by this charming, impromptu and unexpected hike! As you walk, from one panorama to another, you will discover a surprising wilderness, where water cohabits with stone. Take your time during the crossing of the Larris (which can be slippery when the local rain comes).

A place that will appeal to nature-watchers, especially those with an interest in wild birds. Indeed, the Hâble d'Ault marsh is home to a wealth of flora and fauna. This is a very pleasant hike for the whole family, and youngsters will have a rare opportunity to observe Samarian species in the wild. What's more, the relatively small size of the trail makes it an excellent afternoon outing.

Some forty meters wide and 4.5 km long, the allée des Beaux-Monts was cut from the Imperial Palace at Napoleon's request. The idea was to offer Empress Marie-Louise a perspective similar to that of Schönbrunn Palace. The driveway ends in a hill with a splendid view of the forest and the Imperial Palace in the background. At the bottom of the hill begins the signposted "Les Beaux Monts" trail (4.1 km, medium difficulty). A path with steps makes for a less steep ascent of the hundred or so meters of difference in altitude. Once you've reached the top, at an altitude of 130 metres, catch your breath and enjoy the view all the way up to the château (even more romantic with twilight in front of you; for photos, take advantage of the light and frequent morning mist). Then follow the signposted path, or try a variation: take the old asphalt road (closed to cars) as far as the unmistakable Marie-Louise cedar. Turn left to pass the amazing grafted pines, then right again along the signposted path. The narrow path offers changes of gradient and pace before returning to the Beaux-Monts viewpoint and descending via an impressive oak tree that towers proudly over you at the top of its four centuries of age. These 240 hectares are among the best-protected and most-visited areas of the Compiègne state forest. Les Beaux-Monts is an emblematic site!
