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.

Leaving Beauvais to the northwest, the street and then the cycle path of the Saint-Quentin marsh, you quickly arrive at the superb body of water of Canada. It offers three kilometers of banks and a call for swimming in summer.

The Saint Pierre Cathedral has a remarkable astronomical clock (1865-1868) by Auguste-Lucien Vérité, who, before becoming a clockmaker, had already become known as an expert in organ building.

It is always nice to meet old friends again, especially when it happens unexpectedly. When you enter the wonderful but only half-finished cathedral of Beauvais, you are greeted by the famous image of St. Peter from St. Peter's Basilica. This fits with the building's claim: the highest Gothic vault, the highest church tower, the largest church in France. However, it is a Gothic Babel: the vault and tower collapsed, and that was the end of money and Gothic architecture. The cathedral is a huge torso, the nave of which is a comparatively tiny Romanesque building that stands lost in front of the huge, centuries-old temporary dividing wall that the nave was supposed to replace.
