Compiégnois-Noyonnais territory

In the Oise, the Canal extends over 33,6 km between Compiègne and Libermont. It is part of the Oise valley over a first sector of 18,6 km north of Compiégnois, then over 15 km in the Pays Noyonnais, in sector 2 of the structure.

FOCUS ON THE TERRITORY

FROM COMPIEGNOIS…

The environment of the Compiégnoise part of the Canal is both urbanized with the crossing of 14 municipalities, agricultural and wooded, with the forests of Laigue and Ourscamp, close to the Canal. Water occupies a central place in this predominantly river sector with the Oise and the canal lateral to the Oise running right through it.

… IN NOYONNAIS

The Pays Noyonnais is polarized around the town of Noyon. In this part, the Canal crosses 11 communes of an agricultural nature, including 2 communes belonging to the Pays des Sources. By its relief and its landscapes, the Noyonnais is very popular with walkers. It is also a land of historical heritage, object of all attention during the design of the Canal as well as human, agricultural and environmental issues.
