Guise – Vadencourt – Ribemont
On leaving Guise, via the voie verte, you reach Vadencourt, continuing to follow the Oise.
From Macquigny to Origny-Sainte-Benoite, a new greenway built on the old railway line follows the Oise. This very natural route is well worth the diversions.
At Guise, a more direct variant through the plateau joins the route at Macquigny.
