Beauvais / St-Germer-de-Fly

This stage principally follows an old railway transformed into a greenway, passing through a lovely landscape full of attractions, from the gates of Beauvais to the wet meadows of the Pays de Bray. Departing from the SNCF railway station in Beauvais, the itinerary follows the Thérain River, passing right by the painter André Van Beek remarkable garden and the Saint-Paul amusement park. Laughs and thrills guaranteed! The route then offers a succession of varied bucolic scenery, with ponds and picturesque farms and cottages reminiscent of nearby Normandy. The Oise and the Normandy tracks converge to a single main track close the the famous abbey of Saint-Germer-de-Fly.
