The Château de Thiers-sur-Thève, now in ruins, is a former 13th-century fortified castle listed as a Historic Monument in 1862. Built as a hunting lodge for the bishops of Beauvais, it is distinguished by its large state room pierced with large windows, a rare example of medieval residential architecture in the Île-de-France region. Partially dismantled in the 15th century, its circular towers, moats, and Gothic remains can still be admired.

Yes, bicycles are prohibited. This is completely ridiculous.

Regarding the ban on bicycles on the banks of the canal and the people (Sunday walkers) who are complaining: this is a warning from the City of Paris (and not from the police, who have no jurisdiction) in case an accident occurs, it is a "discharge of liability". You should know that the canal is maintained all year round (mowing, strengthening the banks, pruning) with many vehicles present (trucks, tractors, excavators). They have priority, they are working and are not likely to let you pass if they want, for service reasons. So at that moment, you will be told that yes, there are prohibition signs and that you are not supposed to be there for your leisure. That said, as usual, common sense, politeness and respect for others will resolve 95% of potential conflicts, no point in crying scandal without knowing...

Nice, yes, calm and peaceful... 4 km in line with the runway of CDG airport, the noise of planes taking off every 2 minutes at an altitude of a few hundred meters is infernal, even during breaks. How the locals manage 24/7 is beyond me...
