The castle is almost invisible from the towpath. Good that the highlight is positioned correctly, otherwise you will definitely miss it.

The Château d'Happlaincourt, a medieval castle, dates from the 13th century and was originally a fortified structure with a square floor plan, surrounded by water. During the First World War, the castle was largely destroyed, leaving only ruins today. Historically, it played a role in the Catholic League in the 16th century, when Jacques d'Humières drew up a manifesto there to restore the Catholic religion.

The town of Péronne is truly charming and well worth a visit. The Somme River forms natural ponds that surround the city, giving it an undeniable appeal. Its old town is located on a small hill overlooking the entire area.

This museum is located on the front lines of the Battle of the Somme. The white concrete design by architect Henri-Edouard Ciriani describes a gentle arc set into the southwest wall of the medieval castle. It forms a harmonious whole with the four large round towers, each with a diameter of 9 m. The building at the Etang du Cam stands on a series of smooth white concrete columns, creating a beautiful reflection in the water. The rooms are accessed through an opening in the wall of the 13th-century castle, which was built by the Counts of Vermandois. Charles the Bold imprisoned Louis XI in one of the towers.
