L'Oise
Suitability for a boat holiday *

L’Oise – Information, description
The River has its spring in the south of Belgium, some kilometres off the border to France. After Guise, it soon flows into the Canal Sambre à l’Oise. This becomes then the Canal latéral à l’Oise, At Compiègne, l’Oise becomes navigable until Conflans St. Honorine, where it finally flows into the Seine.

The River is part of the future “Liaison Seine nord” from Paris to the Channel for big vessels. It has a very high traffic volume, up to 100 vessels a day! It is therefore of no interest for tourism, but it can’t be avoided on the way from Belgium to Paris.  

Navigating the Oise
Length: 104 km, locks: 7, heavy vessel traffic, no boat hirer.
