Cascade de Blangy

At Blangy, the Oise passes over a small waterfall among the trees. The tourist office lists free parking and a picnic area. For a longer walk, it separately describes a 7 km hiking loop from Hirson’s football ground; that loop is not the short direct access to the falls.

What to look for

• The waterfall and the Oise.
• A picnic area on site.
• A longer marked walk starts in Hirson.

For a short stop, head straight to Route de Blangy: the tourist office lists free parking and a picnic area near the natural site. For a proper walk, there is a separate 7 km hiking loop from Hirson’s football ground, estimated at two hours. That trailhead differs from the direct approach to the falls; choose which outing you want before asking for directions.

Blangy combines a lake and woodland. The tourist office lists walking, fishing and bicycle hire, as well as food service that may vary with the operator. Admission to the natural site is listed as free in 2026; activities and services may still carry a charge. The walk follows the young Oise, so adapt your footwear and pace after rain.
