The towpath that crosses La Ferté Milon is a must. As the section is closed to bicycle traffic, it is a must-see hiking trail, rather than a must-see mountain bike trail; and given the terrain, it would even be more Gravel than mountain bike, if bicycles were allowed to circulate. The Ruins of the Castle is a good place to stop: for the history, the panoramic view and the restaurant.

While strolling along the Canal de l'Ourcq, you will pass by the Marolles lock with an interesting view of the canal, the lock, an island, the church and the castle. https://aufildelourcq.org/index.php https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marolles_(Oise)

Along the towpath, the view opens up for a moment onto the church of Mareuil-sur-Ourcq which stands on the other side of the canal. This Gothic-style building was built in three stages starting in the 13th century.
