Discover Ohis through specific themes: a walk along the Oise, historic landmarks and nature watching on Île d’Ohis. These themes appeal to different interests and offer several possible ways to focus your stay. If you are looking for a holiday rental in Ohis, you can consider whether you would rather spend your time walking, exploring architectural history or taking in the river landscape.

Walk along the Oise

The “La Thiérache vue d’Ohis” walk follows the Axe Vert, passes through the streets of Ohis and runs along the Oise. Thematic information panels explain the surrounding border region. If you would like to explore a regional context as part of a walk, this route offers a clear focus. Check current access details before setting out, as they may change.

The Viaduc d’Ohis

The Viaduc d’Ohis is the most significant engineering structure on the Axe Vert de la Thiérache route. Its high arches span the river. For travellers interested in architectural forms, it offers a technical focus alongside the town’s historic landmarks.

Historic buildings and memorial sites

At 12 rue de l’église are former agricultural buildings. Their gateway, barn and the façades of the house are partially listed in the register of historic monuments. The listing applies to the specified elements of the complex. Access conditions may vary during a visit. The building at this address may be visited during the Heritage Days; dates vary. If you plan to visit, check the relevant programme in advance.

A plaque honouring Jean Richepin is attached to the Kiosque in Ohis. The Lavoir is at the end of ruelle d’Ejosse; access is via rue du stade. Both details are important for finding your way: the first identifies the location, the second the access route. The Kiosque and Lavoir offer different historical perspectives: the Kiosque honours a person, while the washhouse recalls a social issue. At the end of the 19th century, women in Thiérache called for proper washhouses with a roof and chimney. The demand was therefore not just for a place to wash, but explicitly for a particular architectural form of washhouse.

Nature watching on Île d’Ohis

Île d’Ohis is a piece of land between two branches of the Oise. You can listen to birds on the island. Unlike the buildings and memorial sites, the focus here is on observing nature. Access from the municipal accommodation is possible only when the gate is open; check this requirement if you plan to visit from there.
