Here, you'll find the Linnet Stone, which dates back to the Celtic era. It's part of the Sacred Stones Trail, an educational trail.

This impressive cemetery was built in 1920-1921 on a site that was heavily contested during the First World War. It contains the remains of 1,258 French soldiers, 547 of whom are buried in two ossuaries. One French soldier from the Second World War is also buried here. Adjacent is a German military cemetery with the remains of 1,095 soldiers, 388 of whom are buried in collective graves, together with four British and two French soldiers. The necropolis is located in a region where the German advance towards Paris passed through in 1914, and where fierce fighting took place in 1918 during the Battle of Matz. Today it is a serene place of remembrance and reconciliation, in the middle of a landscape that was once the scene of devastating battles.

The village played an important role during the First World War. It was occupied on 30 August 1914 and was the scene of fierce fighting during the “Race to the Sea” and again during the Battle of Matz in June 1918. The village was badly damaged and was awarded the Croix de Guerre for its suffering and courage.

After the devastation of the First World War, a new church dedicated to Our Lady of the Assumption was built in Fresnières in 1929-1930. Its architecture reflects the spirit of the time: a combination of neo-Romanesque forms and Art Deco elements. The round arched windows and the barrel vault in the nave refer to the classical Romanesque style, while the mosaic portal and the straight lines of the bell tower clearly reveal the influence of Art Deco. Above the portal, a fresco with a historical inscription dating back to the time of Louis XIV is a subtle reminder of the long history of this place.

This sober memorial honours the people of Amy who lost their lives during the First World War. Their names are engraved in stone, as a lasting reminder of their sacrifice for France. Every year on 11 November, tribute is paid to their courage and sacrifice.

Small rural village in the department of the Somme. The main historical site is the church of Saint Martin, originally from the 17th century. It was badly damaged during the First World War, but was restored from 1926 onwards. A new bell was inaugurated in 1932

Roye Town Hall is an architectural gem that reflects the reconstruction after the First World War. Designed by Arthur Régnier in the 1930s, the imposing building combines Art Deco with neo-regional Flemish Renaissance influences. The striking belfry, with its elegant dome and bell tower, recalls the original town hall built in 1775 but destroyed during the war. The façade is richly decorated with bas-reliefs, including the town's coat of arms and symbols of trade and industry. The entrance gate, with its graceful ironwork, is reminiscent of the Croix de Guerre cross, a silent reminder of the town's turbulent history. This town hall is not only an administrative building, but also a powerful symbol of recovery and cultural wealth.

The Église Saint-Pierre in Roye is a historic church whose origins date back to 1184. The church was rebuilt in the 16th century, but suffered severe damage during the First World War. After the war, it was partly reconstructed in the Art Deco style, while the original Gothic flamboyant choir was preserved. The building has a 64-metre-high bell tower, inspired by the Église Notre-Dame du Raincy. Inside, there are stained glass windows and decorative elements by artists such as Raymond Couvègnes and Maurice Dhomme. The church is classified as a monument historique and contains relics of Saint Florent and Saint Antoine Daveluy.
