This Green Route, built on the embankment of the former Compiègne-Soissons railway line, connects Cuise-la-Motte with Soissons and forms the main part of the cycle route that will eventually link these two important towns along the Aisne valley. The first section was completed in 2011 between Cuise-la-Motte and Courtieux. In 2023, several sections were built between Courtieux and Soissons.

Pedestrian and cyclist bridge over the Aisne River. The name, "Passerelle des Anglais," refers to the important role the British played in the liberation of Soissons in 1918 and in the reconstruction of the city after the First World War, including the reconstruction of the original bridge, which was destroyed by the German army.
