The Oise has its source in Belgium, north of Scourmont Abbey, in the municipality of Bourlers (Chimay). It runs westwards to the French border, where it gives its name to
Macquenoise, then southwards across the departments of Aisne, Oise and Seine-et-Oise, before rushing into the Seine at Conflant-Sainte-Honorine.
This river supplies the lakes of the Fourneau d��Oise, Forge Gérard and La Lobiette. The origin of the world Oise dates back to the Celtic era, Isera or Isara (= agitated).
The Etang du Fourneau dOise (Oise Furnace Lake) appears for the first time in an obituary in 1735. The Furnace is thought to have been created between 1780 and 1790 by the Prince of Chimay. It was ruined during
the French Revolution, then brought back into operation in 1796 by the French themselves.
