geography
Avrechy is located in the valley of the Arré stream , which flows a few kilometers south into the Brèche , around eight kilometers north of Clermont (Oise) on the railway line to Saint-Just-en-Chaussée with a stop. Avrechy includes the residential areas Bizancourt in the south, Le Metz and Les Carignons in the north and Argenlieu on the D916.
history
Argenlieu owned a manor house that disappeared during the French Revolution after being used as a prison for some time. Avrechy was destroyed several times in the 14th century. The road from Paris to Picardy ran in the Arré valley until the beginning of the 19th century and was only later moved to the route of today's D916.
