Les 3 clochers and Capitaine Balland give La Neuville-Roy two clearly distinct route profiles: a walk through the village and a circuit that you can complete on foot or by mountain bike. Other features include the 18th-century Sainte-Madeleine Chapel, views of the church towers in neighboring villages, and a high altar and altarpiece protected as a historic object. These specific route and heritage features can help you assess the village as a place to stay.
Les 3 clochers on foot
Les 3 clochers is an 8 km walking route that passes through La Neuville-Roy. The walk is listed as taking 2 hours and 30 minutes; it starts at Saint-Médard Church, 7 Rue de Paris, in La Neuville-Roy. The distance, duration, and starting address provide a specific framework for planning a day’s walk. Check the starting point, route conditions, and signage locally.
Along the way, the walk offers views of the church towers in Cressonsacq, Pronleroy, and the Hameau de Beaupuits (Grandvillers Aux Bois). At the La Neuville-Roy cemetery, the route points out the 18th-century Sainte-Madeleine Chapel. The route references have a clear geographical distinction: the church towers are in the named neighboring villages, while the chapel is located at the La Neuville-Roy cemetery. The walk therefore combines views of other church villages with a reference to a specific historic building.
Capitaine Balland on foot or by mountain bike
The Capitaine Balland circuit is 12.3 km long and can be completed on foot or by mountain bike in La Neuville-Roy. The walk is listed as taking 3 hours, and the mountain-bike ride 1 hour and 15 minutes. These figures refer to different activities: the shorter time is specifically for the mountain-bike option. On foot, Capitaine Balland is 4.3 km longer than Les 3 clochers; the listed walking time is 30 minutes longer. This comparison sets the two walking options side by side by distance and time, while cycling has its own separate time estimate.
The historic circuit is about Captain Balland, commander of Group 35 of the XI Saint-Chamond Tank Group in 1918. The year refers to his role as commander at the time. The route therefore has a specific historical context in addition to its length and the different time estimates.
Heritage in La Neuville-Roy
The high altar and altarpiece are protected as a historic object. They were registered on December 16, 2010. This date refers to their protected status; the reference to the 18th century, by contrast, applies to the Sainte-Madeleine Chapel. This distinguishes two different heritage details: the altar’s protected status and the chapel’s historical period.
If you are considering La Neuville-Roy as a place to stay overnight, the route times can help with your day’s planning: you can compare the two walking options and consider the mountain-bike time separately. The chapel, views, and protected high altar and altarpiece add cultural points of interest to your decision. This helps you choose a place to stay based on the activities you actually plan to do.
