The Northern France / Picardie region
The scenery of Picardy is characterised by intense agriculture and the raising of livestock. With its beaches in the north, and fields to the south, this easy-going region has plenty to explore. Picardy is steeped in history.
The battle of the Somme in WW1 made the beaches here famous in the last century, but they have featured in previous historic moments, such as William the Conqueror setting sail, and the Battle of Crécy also took place in Picardy.
The picturesque village of Gerberoy in the Oise is worth a visit, along with the gothic cathedral at Amiens, and the numerous châteaux, churches and abbeys in the region.
