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.

This feminine representation of spring offers the opportunity to mention some female figures in the work of Jules Verne. He writes adventure novels set in sometimes dangerous countries. This explains why there are fewer female than male characters. There are even great novels without female characters, such as 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, The Mysterious Island or Robur the Conqueror. In this sense, the work reflects its time, in which women were not given an important place. "But my novels have beautiful female characters: the sensual Aouda (Around the World in 80 Days), the charming Lé-ou (The Sorrows of a Chinese Man in China), the dreamy Helena Campbell (The Green Ray), the brave Dolly Branican (Mistress Branican), the seductive Stilla (The Carpathian Castle) or the disturbing Sangarre (Michel Strogoff). Some girls also find love at the end of the novel: Mary Grant (Captain Grant's Children), Nadia Fedor (Michel Strogoff) or Nell (Child of the Cave). But it is true that passionate love often takes up little space in my stories. In 1889 I had a pleasant visit: the young American journalist Nellie Bly, who tried to surpass the achievements of Phileas Fogg in my book Around the World in Eighty Days (1872), came to Amiens on November 22, 1889 to greet me."

The stone circus Cirque Jules Verne is one of the seven stone circuses that France still has. It was initially a wooden circus built in 1875. In 1886, the city of Amiens made the decision to replace it with a stone circus. Construction started in 1887. Émile Ricquier, a student of Gustave Eiffel, led the works, and the circus was solemnly opened in June 1889. The name of the author Jules Verne, who was a councilor of Amiens at this time, was given to the circus. He occupied this seat for sixteen years (from 1888 to 1906) as a member of the Republican party, and was committed to education and theater.[1] Since then, many circus companies have performed here, including the Circus Barnum and Bailey and the Circus Annie Fratellini. But not only circus companies have used the complex, singers such as Ray Charles, Johnny Hallyday, Claude François and many other artists have also performed here. The circus also served as a backdrop for several films by well-known directors such as Federico Fellini and Nico Papatakis. The circus was closed for two years for extensive renovations and reopened in November 2003. Particular attention was paid to the dome to restore it to its original appearance.
