Ourcq canal

Presentation

The Meaux region is crossed by the Ourcq canal and the Marne river. These two watercourses offer wonderful landscapes with a rich wildlife and lush vegetation. You will be able to enjoy the calm through your walks or while on a guided tour.

The Ourcq canal, which is approximatively 100km long, passes through nine cities of the urban community from Varreddes to Trilbardou. The canal have been considered a place of relaxation and leisure for a long time. The towpath is perfect for a family stroll ; the setting being sometimes urban, sometimes green. You can take advantage of the layout to practice roller or hiking.
We advise you visit the elevatory factory of Trilbardou, which is open on appointment, in order to better understand the history of the Ourcq canal.
