The Somme: its magnificent bay, its lakes and river, its history..its welcoming Bed and Breakfasts. The valley of the upper Somme, battleground of the first World War, commemorated by its military cemetries, is now a paradise for fishermen. Visit Amiens, resting place of its famous son, Jules Verne, with its magnificent Gothic cathedral and interesting 'hortillonages'-gardens on small islands in the marshland of the Somme. Also Albert, Abbeville, Péronne, Montdidier are worth a detour. Or stay in a Bed and Breakfast on the Somme coast: 40 miles of impressive scenery plus a multitude of activities, including land-sailing, a popular sport in Picardy.
Most of our Bed and Breakfast addresses are approved by the four official networks (Gîtes de France, Fleurs de Soleil, Clévacances, Accueil Paysan) or by the Tourist Board.
