Ochancourt: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes
Ochancourt is considered a village-Courtil, or Courtil village, on the Vimeu Plateau. It is characterized by a rural settlement structure in which the village, hedgerows, and vegetated areas are closely interconnected.
Landscape
Ochancourt’s Courtil structure is characterized by a belt of vegetation surrounding the village. This includes pastures enclosed by hedgerows. The Courtil landscape also includes bocage meadows in a network of hedgerows that serves as a buffer zone between the houses and the large areas of farmland.
The hedgerow belt forms a ring around the village, with the church at its centre. The Courtil landscape also includes orchards, including partly grazed traditional fruit meadows. Between the first and second hedgerow strips, or between the outer hedgerow strip and the fields, a circular hedgerow trail runs through the landscape around Ochancourt.
For residents, the Courtils provide a green rural setting suitable for walking and relaxation.

Cycling
The Circuit de la Mésange takes cyclists from Nibas through Ochancourt to Franleu. The cycling route passes through valleys and bocage landscapes, as well as typical villages of the Vimeu. It is signposted and uses cycle paths, small roads, and quiet rural lanes.
Culture
A square sundial is located at the Church of Saint Ouen in Ochancourt. Its small gnomon indicates the exact time; Roman numerals appear around the perimeter of the square sundial.
