To explore Compiègne by bike is to plunge into the heart of a city where history, nature and freedom come together with every pedal stroke. With Compiègne bike hire packages starting from €10 per day, you can choose between an electric bike or a mountain bike to discover the impressive state-owned forest, follow the Ourcq canal and admire the royal castle without constraint. The secure cycle paths wind along the river and through centuries-old trees, offering a scenery that changes with the seasons.

In an urban setting, you can enjoy the charm of cobbled streets and renovated quays, while in just a few minutes you're in a bucolic world. The Parc du Palais, with its wide avenues, lends itself perfectly to a leisurely stroll, and the Clairière de l'Armistice circuit, accessible by bike, transports you to the place where the history of the Great War was turned upside down. Count on around 30 km of landscaped loops to alternate between architectural heritage and birds flying over calm waters.
