Towpath Along the Somme River

Highlight • Trail

This old towpath offers beautiful views and a relaxing calm. There are no more draft horses there as in the past, but only a few cyclists and barges.

The path is generally flat and easy to navigate, making it a popular destination for hikers of all abilities.

During the walk you can encounter various species of birds, observe local wildlife and enjoy peaceful surroundings. Nature lovers will also appreciate the diverse flora along the path, with flower meadows, riparian trees and aquatic plants.

I can't get enough of it – simply indescribable nature with crystal-clear water. Unfortunately, there were too many nettles, so we couldn't dip our feet in the cool water.

Les Étangs de la Barette

Highlight • Lake

The Etangs de la Barette are a natural site of approximately 40 hectares located in the communes of Corbie and Vaux-sur-Somme. The site is made up of large artificial ponds which were dug by the monks of Corbie Abbey to serve as a fishpond, then used for peat extraction in the 19th century. You can enjoy the view of the water and wetlands, and observe the diverse flora and fauna that populate the site. You will also be able to see the Blue Fountains, water springs that appear blue due to the reflection of sunlight on the chalky bottom. The Etangs de la Barette are an ideal destination for nature lovers who wish to discover a rich and preserved environment.
