St Quentin Canal

Highlight • Other

If you're looking for a scenic and historic route, you can try the Saint-Quentin Canal in northern France. This canal connects the Escaut, the Oise and the Somme, and crosses the watershed at a summit level 20.4 km long with two tunnels. You can run along the towpath, admire the views of the countryside and the waterway, and discover the towns and villages along the route. The canal was built in the 18th century and was an important link for trade and transport. You can learn more about its history and engineering at the Musée du Touage in Riqueval, where you can also see the electric tugboats that pull the boats through the long tunnel. The Saint-Quentin canal is an ideal destination for runners who love culture and adventure.

Cycle path along the Canal de Saint-Quentin

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This cycle path to and from Saint-Quentin is only part of the much longer cycle path that follows this canal. It is a perfect way to cycle through the landscape car-free.
Cycling along the canal you will come across locks several times, which makes cycling extra fun.
Please note that the asphalt is not in good condition everywhere. There are many loose stones and sometimes the asphalt is broken or even gone (gravel). This is doable with a racing bike, but keep your eyes on the path.

Saint-Quentin

Highlight • Other

The beautiful, Gothic basilica can rival many cathedrals. Inside, the spaciousness of the main nave impresses with a view of the choir. It dates from the 13th century.
Since the end of the 15th century, pilgrims have been able to follow the path on a labyrinth behind the entrance portal, previously they followed the course on their knees. It is an octagonal labyrinth with a distance of around 260 meters.

Saint Quentin Municipal Theatre

Highlight • Other

Under the name Augusta Viromanduorum, Saint-Quentin was the capital of the Celtic Viromandus during Roman times.

During the Italian Wars, the Battle of Saint-Quentin took place here on August 10, 1557, which ended in a Spanish victory.

An important son of the city is the composer Josquin Desprez (≈1450–1521).
