Beautiful undulating car-free road through the forests north of Compiegne. Along the way you will encounter several characteristic signposts that indicate the local unpaved paths. As a cyclist, however, you better stay on this path, the only paved passage. Recommended!

Roye Town Hall is an architectural gem that reflects the reconstruction after the First World War. Designed by Arthur Régnier in the 1930s, the imposing building combines Art Deco with neo-regional Flemish Renaissance influences. The striking belfry, with its elegant dome and bell tower, recalls the original town hall built in 1775 but destroyed during the war. The façade is richly decorated with bas-reliefs, including the town's coat of arms and symbols of trade and industry. The entrance gate, with its graceful ironwork, is reminiscent of the Croix de Guerre cross, a silent reminder of the town's turbulent history. This town hall is not only an administrative building, but also a powerful symbol of recovery and cultural wealth.

The Église Saint-Pierre in Roye is a historic church whose origins date back to 1184. The church was rebuilt in the 16th century, but suffered severe damage during the First World War. After the war, it was partly reconstructed in the Art Deco style, while the original Gothic flamboyant choir was preserved. The building has a 64-metre-high bell tower, inspired by the Église Notre-Dame du Raincy. Inside, there are stained glass windows and decorative elements by artists such as Raymond Couvègnes and Maurice Dhomme. The church is classified as a monument historique and contains relics of Saint Florent and Saint Antoine Daveluy.

The Canal du Nord is a 95 km long canal in northern France that connects the Oise Valley to the Dunkirk-Scheldt Canal. Construction began in 1908, but was interrupted by the First World War. The canal was not completed and opened to navigation until 1965. The canal has 19 locks and two tunnels, including the Ruyaulcourt Tunnel, which spans a height difference of 40 metres. The Canal du Nord is an important waterway for inland navigation, but will be replaced in the future by the Seine-Nord Europe Canal, a more modern connection.
