The canal follows the course of the River Somme and is a combination of a side canal and a canalised river. Construction work had already begun in 1770, but was not completed until 1843. It was intended to connect St. Quentin with the English Channel for freight traffic. However, economic use has been in decline for many decades, but like many canals in France, tourist use by pleasure craft and houseboats is increasing. (Wikipedia)
Like most canals in France, this one is also made accessible by accompanying cycle paths. A relaxed, sometimes also meditative cycling, because there is not so much variety. But also absolutely beautiful landscapes on the unregulated Somme lined with castles and mansions delight cyclists again and again

Kanal der Somme

Highlight • Other

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.

Port of Saint-Valery

Highlight • River

The port of St Valery sur Somme is a port located at the mouth of the Somme Canal and at the end of the Somme Bay. It is one of the most important ports in Picardy and a popular destination for sailors, fishermen and tourists.

The harbor has 250 berths for boats up to 25 m long and 2.30 m draft. It has two docks: one accessible from the west bank of the port facility and the east bank available with an annex.
The port is both a sea and a river port, as it forms the link between the Bay of the Somme and the entrance to the Somme Canal.

Saint-Vulfran Collegiate Church, Abbeville

Highlight • Religious Site

The construction of the church began on June 7, 1488. By August 31, it was clear that funding would be a problem, so construction halted for a time. On April 4, 1520, Jean Crétel of Tours-en-Vimeu was put in charge of the work. The nave was under construction until 1539

Around the Long lock

Highlight • Structure

The private property of Long, open to visitors, is located in the heart of the Somme between Abbeville and Amiens. Classified as a historic monument, the building, dating from the first half of the 18th century, features architecture in the Louis XV style, made entirely of pink bricks and white stones.
The Château du Long is shaped like a rectangular central body with a mansard roof, inside which are very beautiful sculptures and paintings by Huet. The site is surrounded by a magnificent park of about twenty hectares, with French-style shrubs, greenhouses and a listed washhouse, an 18th-century dovecote, an orangery and a cooler, a six-hectare pond, outbuildings or a four-hectare wood. Very beautiful statues also mark the alleys that invite you to stroll. (France-Voyage)
