Forêt de Compiègne, Oise valley

Why this score

Oise benefits from excellent Paris rail access and low hazard exposure, but dull skies, flat scenery and little tourism keep it modest. L'Oise profite d'un excellent accès ferroviaire à Paris et d'une faible exposition aux risques, mais un ciel maussade, des paysages plats et un tourisme discret limitent son attrait.
