A02 Saint-Omer-en-Chaussee - Ouarville

Second ride from Oekene (Roeselare) to Santiago de Compostela: from Saint-Omer-en-Chaussée to Ouarville, 164 kilometers and 1606 altitude meters. The first part is quite hilly, the second part is slightly rolling.

You start in the region Picardy, department ‘de l’Oise’ with some climbs and a few descents, including through the valley of ‘le Thérain’ and l’Avelon’, already reaching the highest point of the ride after 23 km: 223 m elevation.

After briefly passing through a part of the Normandy region, department ‘d’Eure’, you successively enter the departments of val d’Oise and Yvelines which are part of the Île de France region, of which Paris is also a part. It continues up and down through the parc naturel régional du Vexin français to the beautiful Mantes-la-Jolie, after 80 km, crossing over the ‘Seine’. The valley of the ‘Seine’ is quite cut in, so first a long descent down to it and then climbing back up from the valley with an ascent of about 4 km. Upon entering Mantes-la-Jolie, you have a good view of ‘la Collégiale Notre-Dame’, a beautiful Gothic church from the 12th and 13th centuries.

In Epernon, you enter the Centre-Val de Loire region, department Eure-et-Loir. This last stretch is noticeably flatter. We pass Paris on the west side.

Ouarville is a village with about 550 residents and is located about 10 km southeast of Chartres, belonging to the arrondissement of Chartres.
