Compiègne

Compiègne sits on the Oise river in the Oise valley, with flat to rolling terrain ideal for endurance cycling. The Tour du Grand Parc loops through the extensive royal forest and parkland, while longer randonnées like the Randonnée Des Malins De Jaux (90km) and Randonnée l'Ulmeusienne (90km) connect through surrounding villages and quieter country roads. Running here is similarly low-key — the flat valley and park routes suit steady distance work, though serious runners often drive into the Compiègne forest for trail options and interval sessions among the beech and oak stands.
