Sortie rapide à vélo de Venette à Compiègne

This short ride kicks off in Venette, a small, laid-back town just a couple of kilometers southwest of Compiègne. You’ll head northeast, rolling through both quiet roads and a mix of surfaces—expect stretches of smooth asphalt, some paving stones, and a bit of concrete under your tires (so maybe don’t bring your skinny racing tires unless you like a little rattle!). The route is mostly gentle, with a barely-there ascent of around 11 meters, making it accessible for nearly everyone.

The trip wraps up right in the historic heart of Compiègne—famous for its elegant château and the lush Compiègne Forest, once a royal hunting ground. If you’ve got time, grab a coffee at one of the local cafés or explore the beautiful old streets. Whether you’re commuting, sightseeing, or just stretching your legs, it’s a quick and easy spin with a great reward at the end!
