Seraucourt-le-Grand

Highlight • Other

Stage 73 of Sigeric on his Via Francigena pilgrimage. Here is the end of the stage VFF14 Via Vrancigena France). In Seraucourt-le-Grand we cross the Somme. It owes its ancient name, "Serodi Curtis", to the Gallo-Romans who founded two of these famous villae, farms, around the 2nd century, who gave it the suffix "-COURT", as with many other villages. Traces of a Merovingian cemetery are also said to have been found.

Saint-Quentin war memorial

Highlight • Monument

The Saint-Quentin war memorial is a unique memorial dedicated to the city's soldiers who fell in combat during different wars. The monument is located near the train station and features a large granite wall with three bas-reliefs depicting scenes from 1557, 1870 and 1914-19181. You can admire the work of architect Paul Bigot and sculptors Henri Bouchard and Paul Landowski, who created this impressive structure in 1927. The monument is also a tribute to the resilience of the residents of Saint-Quentin, who endured the destruction and exodus caused by conflicts.

Saint-Quentin

Highlight • Other

The beautiful, Gothic basilica can rival many cathedrals. Inside, the spaciousness of the main nave impresses with a view of the choir. It dates from the 13th century.
Since the end of the 15th century, pilgrims have been able to follow the path on a labyrinth behind the entrance portal, previously they followed the course on their knees. It is an octagonal labyrinth with a distance of around 260 meters.

Basilique Saint-Quentin

Highlight • Religious Site

Gothic church. Started construction in the 12th century and completed in the 15th century.
When we enter the church we stand hesitantly for a moment before the octagonal labyrinth inlaid in black and white marble in the floor of the nave, a phenomenon common to medieval churches. Pilgrims follow the path to the center of the labyrinth barefoot or on their knees, on their way to enlightenment and a deeper relationship with God.
