Tips from the Community
The Marais d’Epagnette is characterized by vast areas of wet meadows and low-lying marshes, maintained for decades by extensive grazing. The non-grazed areas of the Grand Marais d’Epagne are dominated by vegetation of tall grasses mixed with reeds (reedbeds), progressively colonized by willow thickets. Not only do these significant open (non-wooded) areas offer unique landscapes, but furthermore, the diversity of the environments and the management carried out to date allow for the expression of exceptional flora and fauna, bringing together numerous protected, rare, and threatened species at the scale of Picardy or even France. Numerous uses – and users! – coexist in the marsh (grazing, hunting, fishing, walking, mowing, wood cutting…), a significant challenge to reconcile all these practices, while preserving this exceptional natural heritage. The Conservatoire d’espaces naturels has been working since 2008 on the preservation of this site in partnership with the municipality, the Conservatoire de l’espace littoral et des rivages lacustres, and private owners. These 150 ha of marsh are crossed by a path that allows visitors to see, throughout the seasons, the Fritillaria pintade, a protected plant, or the White Stork. https://www.cen-hautsdefrance.org/site/les-marais-depagne-epagnette/

This neoclassical-style church was built in place of an older one destroyed during the Spanish invasions of 1636. It stands out for the bulbous dome topped by a spire of its bell tower, its pediment reminiscent of that of Valloires, or its five-bay nave.

It was founded by the future Saint Riquier in 625, on a spring, the object of a very ancient pagan cult. The abbey became royal in 632 thanks to the protection granted to it by Dagobert I. It was Charlemagne himself who entrusted his son-in-law, Angilbert, with the construction of a new and vast abbey using the finest materials, thus forging a model of religious architecture for ecclesiastical buildings in the West. Thanks to a library that, over the centuries, became one of the most important in Europe, and a scriptorium active in the creation and dissemination of the Caroline minuscule, the abbey played a significant role in the preservation and transmission of knowledge until the end of the 12th century. A jewel of Gothic architecture, the Abbey has suffered numerous destructions due to fires and looting, but remains today one of the most beautiful buildings in France, notably thanks to the work carried out by Charles d'Aligre in the 17th century.
