Somme
Your French holidays in the Somme, close to the English Channel
Like to visit Picardy? The Somme is a beautiful department in the north of France that will surprise you with what it has to offer. You will love your holiday rental in the Somme, taking in the Bay of the Somme and its magnificent landscapes, Amiens and its history, activities in the countryside and the local gastronomy. If you're looking for a great holiday along the English Channel, you're in luck!
What is there to do in and around your holiday rental in the Somme?
The north of France offers a whole array of water activities, so time to enjoy yourself! You can try sailing at Fort-Mahon-Plage, Cayeux-sur-Mer and Mers-les-Bains: windsurfing, paddleboarding, bodysurfing or surfing, the choice is yours. It is also a rather nice location to take a long-distance walk. This is an aquatic hike, a lot more sporting than it looks, in which you have the opportunity to observe your surroundings. Another favourite activity on the beach is the Char à Voile, or sand yachting: thrills guaranteed!
When spending a holiday in the Somme you must visit its capital: Amiens. Don't miss the huge gothic cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is an impressive architectural jewel with a 40-metre high vault! Stroll through the town, walk among the medieval houses, sit on a terrace and browse in the little boutiques.
Fancy a walk on the Baie de Somme? It is recognised as a Grand Site de France thanks to its unique landscapes, but not only for this! There are many marked walking and cycling paths. Keep a look out for seals and migratory birds. On sunny days, relax by sunbathing on the beach, and as soon as the wind picks up get out your kite!
As far as gastronomy is concerned, don't miss the Ficelle picarde, it's a real treat! It is a ham crêpe covered with béchamel sauce, mushrooms and a good dose of grated Gruyère cheese. And if you like to accompany your aperitifs with a beer, no problem! That's your holiday in the Somme!
