Promenade des Gorges du Han

Looking for a nature getaway? Take advantage of the Promenade des Gorges du Han in the heart of the Compiègne state forest, a cool haven in summer and a living tableau in autumn, with its flamboyant colors. This trail takes you to a hidden treasure: the Grotte des ramoneurs, closed to the public since 2000, for good reason: it's a fascinating refuge for biodiversity. This cave is home to no fewer than 130 rinolophes, the charming little bat-like creatures that contribute to the balance of our ecosystem.

Not far from the start of this tour, you can also admire the Pavillon Eugénie, named after the Empress - it was built by Viollet-le-Duc in 1857 while he was restoring the Château de Pierrefonds - and the Étangs de Saint-Pierre. It's the perfect setting for a much-appreciated moment of relaxation!
