This long straight section which ends its route in the Bay of Somme and Saint-Valéry-sur-Somme is just magnificent.

If the sun is out, your end of the stage will be all the more beautiful.

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

The last stage before the Atlantic! Towards tourism! As touring cyclists we are no longer exotic, there are a few others too. 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 …

So …

Early wake-up call and breakfast further along the route.
Hot, flat, and MAGNIFICENT. The Somme is canalized, but not too much (most of the route is in pleasant curves, breaking up the monotony of the flat - inevitable). Very beautiful riverbanks too, gardens behind the dikes, castles (including the sumptuous and ruinous one …

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.
