Tips from the Community
Located in the heart of the Somme valley, the Belloy-sur-Somme marsh constitutes a preserved area of nearly 90 hectares with high ecological value. The diversity and quality of the present environments allow for the expression of fauna and flora characteristic of alkaline peat bogs. A path punctuated by educational signs allows you to cross the marsh and thus discover the different environments that make it up: ponds, peat rafts, reed beds, humid woodlands. www.cen-hautsdefrance.org/site/le-marais-de-belloy-sur-somme/

One of the finest examples of Flamboyant Gothic architecture in maritime Picardy, constructed between 1488-1539 for the nave and 1661-1663 for the choir. The church was built on marshy ground near a branch of the Somme River with an unusual north-facing façade instead of the traditional western orientation. During World War II, German artillery bombardment on May 20, 1940, caused a devastating fire that destroyed much of the building, with restoration completed only in 1998.

A very beautiful church, unfortunately partly destroyed in World War II, but still very nice to look at.
