Imagined in the 19th century by the industrialist Jean-Baptiste André Godin, the Familistère de Guise is a unique place in France. Conceived as a true “social palace” for the workers of his factory, this architectural complex combines housing, collective spaces, and cultural facilities. Today transformed into a museum and visitor site, the place offers an immersion into the social and industrial history of the Hauts-de-France region.

This is where the Somme River rises. Its name is traced back to Celtic origins and also gives its name to the department of the same name. At the time when Gaul was part of the Roman Empire, the river was called the Samara. It ends its approximately 245-kilometer-long river life in the Baie de Somme, where it flows into the English Channel.

Magnificent walk along the water, then visit the underground canal along the canal in a path between the trees with holes, bumps and bends (a real treat) to finish with a nice route in the Holnon woods. I recommend it. To do either as a walk or at speed, the choice is yours!

A beautiful, tree-lined trail around the Saint-Quentin Canal. An easy, family-friendly route. Enjoy your walk.
