The Somme department of Hauts-de-France invites travelers to experience history, nature, and culture at every turn. In Amiens, the breathtaking UNESCO-listed cathedral and tranquil Hortillonnages, a mosaic of floating gardens, set the tone. Nearby, Péronne offers moving insights into World War I at the Historial de la Grande Guerre, one of Europe’s most important museums on the conflict.

For those seeking a lighter touch, Glisy delights with its aviation heritage, linking visitors to the skies through its airfield and exhibitions. Along the coast, the stunning Somme Bay reveals tidal flats, bird sanctuaries, and wild seal colonies. From poignant memorials and charming villages to countryside trails and regional flavors, the Somme is a destination where heritage and natural beauty inspire exploration and reflection.
