Pimprez – Compiègne
The most pleasant part is crossing the Laigue forest along car-free forest paths. This vast state-owned forest is mainly composed of beech and oak trees. It is separated from the Compiègne forest by the Aisne River. After Choisy-au-Bac, the route follows the Aisne, then the Oise, passing several factories before arriving in Compiègne.
Take care, the departmental roads leading to Bailly and then Saint-Léger-aux-Bois are very busy.
