While strolling along the Canal de l'Ourcq, you will pass by the Marolles lock with an interesting view of the canal, the lock, an island, the church and the castle. https://aufildelourcq.org/index.php https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marolles_(Oise)

On the banks of the Ourcq, the ruins of the castle of La Ferté Milon (this is the facade of the old castle) dominate the city. Started in 1399 on the orders of Louis d'Orléans, Duke of Valois and brother of King Charles VI, this castle should have been the great work of this patron and builder prince. The project was conceived as a response to his castle of Pierrefonds then under construction. But at Pierrefonds Louis d'Orléans had made do with what already existed; at La Ferté-Milon he made a clean sweep of the previous castle and began from scratch the construction of what should have become the most grandiose castle in Western Europe! Alas, in 1407, the assassination of Louis by the partisans of his uncle and sworn enemy John the Fearless, Duke of Burgundy, abruptly interrupted the work. Only one facade was completed. A facade that in itself already constitutes a marvel of 15th century architecture! Despite appearances, the old expression of "castle-fort" does not apply to this colossus intended to be much more of a palace than a defensive site. It is then designed and decorated in such a way as to affirm the wealth, power and faith of one of the greatest lords of his time. https://lafertemilon.fr/fr/rb/795966/le-chateau-ses-remparts

Along the towpath, the view opens up for a moment onto the church of Mareuil-sur-Ourcq which stands on the other side of the canal. This Gothic-style building was built in three stages starting in the 13th century.

Magnificent lock on the Ourcq canal at the eponymous village. It is surrounded by a beautiful green setting which gives it even more charm.

We arrive by the towpath along the canal, then we see the church of Mareuil... Very bucolic.
