Very nice road/path in the woods, quiet. Be careful, some segments south of the D126 are not tarmac, and less suitable for racing bikes.

From Senlis, a lovely bike ride into the surrounding area (approx. 8 km) on asphalt, forest and field paths will quickly take you directly to the castle. Bicycles and dogs are not allowed on the castle grounds. However, you can cycle along the road and admire the castle. The town is also inviting and there are opportunities to cycle past the race track and through the park.
