Your visit

One of the emblematic routes of the territory remains the hiking route known as “Les Trois Clochers”, which will take you from Septmonts and its well-known keep, to the castle of Berzy-le-Sec, passing through the village of Noyant-et-Aconin in the Crise valley.

As you walk the shaded paths of this itinerary along the river, or on the balcony with their panoramic views, you will be surprised by the beauty and diversity of the landscapes that the Crise has created as it carves its course through the Soissonnais plateau.

As you pass from village to village, you will discover a heritage of rural architecture of an unsuspected and original richness, with first of all, the houses with sparrow steps so typical of the Soissonnais.

All in all, it is a route of some 12 km that presents itself to you, enough to enjoy a nice half-day with the family to discover landscapes and atmospheres so typical of the GrandSoissons!”
