Romery: Voie Verte, Oise Landscape and Camp d’Arsimon

Romery offers several different points of interest to consider when planning a trip. The Voie Verte de Thiérache runs through the village and is described as the Axe Vert de Thiérache and as part of EuroVelo 3. Romery is also home to Camp d’Arsimon, a fortified site with a crescent-shaped rampart. There is also a circular trail with views over the Oise Valley, as well as landscape features associated with the bocage of the Oise Valley. This gives you a choice between an outdoor excursion and an interest in archaeological history.

Voie Verte and routes through the Oise landscape

The Voie Verte de Thiérache, which passes through Romery, is described as the Axe Vert de Thiérache and as part of EuroVelo 3; Axe Vert de Thiérache is also the former name of EuroVelo 3. This route runs for around 40 km along the Oise, passing meadows, small villages on higher ground and fortified churches. The route can be explored on foot or on horseback. Its description thus brings together landscape features, fortified churches and villages set on higher ground.

A 3.5 km detour on the Voie Verte de Thiérache leads to the entrance to Romery. The 3.5 km refers to this detour; the approximately 40 km describes the course of EuroVelo 3 along the Oise. This distinction is useful when planning, since the two figures refer to different route distances.

Circular walk with views over the Oise Valley

La vallée des Agneaux is a 13.7 km circular walking route that takes four hours and offers views over the Oise Valley. Its circular layout, length and duration give you specific details to help plan this walk as part of your stay. The route is described differently from EuroVelo 3: here, the focus is on a single loop and its estimated duration, while EuroVelo 3 is a route of around 40 km along the Oise.

The two routes offer different planning scales: La vallée des Agneaux can be assessed by its length and four-hour duration, while EuroVelo 3 can be considered in terms of its course through the landscape along the river. This can help you decide whether a well-defined walk or a longer route would better suit your travel plans. Check the latest route details before setting out: information about the loop may be updated, and the detour to Romery depends on route maintenance.

Camp d’Arsimon: location and fortifications

Camp d’Arsimon is situated on a promontory near the Oise, overlooking its left bank and the confluence of the Oise and the Wiège stream from a distance. The fortified site has a crescent-shaped rampart. Its location and form give the site a distinct spatial character: the promontory, the course of the river and the striking shape of the rampart are among its defining features.

A protohistoric origin is tentatively attributed to the fortified site of Camp d’Arsimon in Romery. The condition of the rampart is also part of its history: its exceptional preservation is attributed to the bocage landscape of the upper Oise Valley. At this site, a distinctive landform, a clearly identifiable fortification and an explicitly tentative dating come together.

Accommodation and your stay

Gîte La Thiérachienne is 75 m² of accommodation in the bocage landscape of the Oise Valley. The term gîte identifies it as a distinct type of accommodation and distinguishes it from a hotel.
