Ourcq Canal – Dhuis Green Way

This route offers a pleasant way to get from the Ourcq Canal to the Promenade of the Dhuis Aqueduc . Starting from the Sevran forest park, it takes small streets and others that are a little busier but with cycle paths on both sides of the pavement. Then it becomes a greenway through the woods with a smooth surface.

While the Ourcq Canal trail is accessible all year round, the same cannot be said for the Dhuis walk. If you don’t like muddy ground, avoid it when it has rained. Otherwise, it is a truly beautiful walk with stunning views of the hillsides.
