One of the oldest provinces in France, Picardy provides many reminders of an eventful past. Small towns such as Gerberoy and Amiens are considered to be among the most beautiful in France and boast a fine selection of historical landmarks such as Gothic Cathedrals and churches. The Somme Battle took place here and the whole region is punctuated by war memorials and old battlefields.
Picardy is also famous for its picturesque gardens and these can be found all over the province. The countryside can be accessed very successfully by car with quiet roads criss-crossing all over the region. These country lanes wind past the high-cliffs of the majestic coastline, through charming rural towns such as Chantilly and around the vineyards in the south.
The 16th century castle Chateau de Condé en Brie and the Domaine du Marquenterre nature reserve are among the region's most notable attractions and are a popular destination for holiday goers. If you're looking for a short break then Picardy may be for you. Book holiday cottages in Picardy/self-catering holidays in Picardy.
