Enjoy nature

The towpath: it runs along the river has been converted into a comfortable bike path: nearly 120 kilometres to connect Péronne to the bay estuary in Saint-Valery-sur-Somme. Along the way, you can enjoy picnic areas, bike racks, lunch in one of our Country Bistrots or stop in one of the lock houses.

NB: We are located a few hundred meters from the towpath.

The bike road of memory that connects Amiens to Arras is nearby.

The GR800: In 2018, the French Hiking Federation has approved a brand new GR: the GR 800. He proposes to muzzle along the River Somme, from the source in the Aisne to Fonsommes to its mouth, in Saint-Valey-sur-Somme, in the Bay of Somme. It stretches for 227 km.

Larris: From the top of these natural lookouts, we witness an exceptional natural spectacle: a mosaic of ponds, an interlacing of marshes and we let ourselves be enchanted by the winding curves of the river.

Fishing: Lovers of a day or lover of the cork, the very fishy ponds of the Somme Valley will delight all fishing enthusiasts. Fishing for white or predators,English or blow, seed or fly, there is something for everyone! Tanches, sanders, trout, pike,
