If you are looking for a peaceful and picturesque hike in Aisne, you can discover the Boucle de l'Etang Montplaisir. This loop trail takes you to the edge of two ponds, where you can enjoy views of the water and wildlife. The trail is largely flat and easy to follow. The hike is approximately 5 km and takes approximately an hour and a half. You can leave from the car park located near Chemin de la Pature. Happy hiking!
