La Faloise: Landscapes, Routes and Heritage

The landscape along the lower Noye, the “Autour de Courcelles” circular route, fishing waters and a historic war memorial offer different perspectives on La Faloise. If you are looking for a hotel in La Faloise, you can consider whether landscapes and routes, fishing or heritage will be the main focus of your stay. Each theme is tied to a specific place and can be chosen according to your travel interests.

Landscape along the lower Noye

The landscape along the lower Noye is considered emblematic and extends across La Faloise and Chaussoy-Epagny. In the wider area around La Faloise, the lower Noye near Chaussoy-Epagny is considered representative of the wet valleys of the Amiénois. These descriptions emphasize different aspects: the emblematic landscape includes both communes, while the characterization as representative refers to the area near Chaussoy-Epagny in the wider surroundings.

In the La Faloise/Chaussoy section, the slopes open up in places to offer sweeping views over the valley floor. The Château de La Faloise stands on a limestone spur and features exceptional architecture. Its location and design are two distinct aspects of the château: the spur describes its site, while the architecture describes its distinctive built form.

The “Autour de Courcelles” circular route

The “Autour de Courcelles” circular route starts 550 meters from La Faloise station. In the direction of Folleville, it follows a section of the GR124 before returning to La Faloise. The route leads to a poplar plantation and continues to ponds. The loop described therefore combines a section heading towards Folleville with a return to La Faloise; the poplar plantation and ponds are among the route’s stated destinations.

The route listing was updated on September 21, 2025. As trail conditions can change, check the route before setting out. La Faloise station has 15 free parking spaces for cars. Take this station facility into account when planning your arrival, and check the information again before your trip, as facilities can change.

Fishing in ponds and on the Noye

The “La Faloisienne” association offers fishing in La Faloise in ponds and along a first-category section of the Noye river. Le Petit Étang is one of the two named fishing ponds. The fishing opportunities described therefore vary by type of water: you can choose between ponds and a river section along the Noye. Check local fishing regulations before your visit.

War memorial and local history

The La Faloise war memorial is considered one of Louis Leclabart’s most original monuments. It was created by Leclabart and inaugurated on September 17, 1922. Nine names are engraved on the monument, including the names of three sons of the Blangy family. The artistic attribution, exact inauguration date and inscription offer different points of reference for exploring the monument’s history.

For planning your trip, there are several specific themes to choose from: after passing in the direction of Folleville, the circular route returns to La Faloise; the fishing opportunities include ponds and a section of the Noye; and the war memorial offers a historical connection with an exact date. The landscape, meanwhile, spans La Faloise and Chaussoy-Epagny and opens up in places from the slopes onto the valley floor.
