Tips from the Community
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.

Built in the 15th and 16th centuries, Troissereux Castle captivates with its unique architecture. It houses the "Tour du Temps," topped with an ancient medieval clock, a listed historical monument. It is surrounded by a landscaped park of more than ten hectares, also listed.

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.

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.
