July 27, 2024,2024.07 TdF FR; V30: Amiens - Saint-Valery-sur-Somme

The adventure factor decreases, the rolling factor increases, the landscape remains just as beautiful along the Somme canalise. In Abbeville we marvel at the collegiate church and the church of the Holy Sepulchre. This is where the crusaders …

The Château de Long is also worth seeing.

UK 2025 - Hike 11 Day 12

A very beautiful road except for an 800-meter grassy path that is not very passable and a connecting road with a few cars. The paths along the Somme are truly superb.
