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)

Cycle path along the Canal Somme

Highlight • Other

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.

Cape Hornu

Highlight • Beach

Cap Hornu is a cape located near Saint-Valery-sur-Somme, on the south bank of the Bay of Somme.
The name Cap Hornu comes from the Picard word “hornu”, which means “horned” or “pointed”, and refers to the shape of the cape. The cape was also known as Cap Saint-Valery in the past.

The history of Cap Hornu is closely linked to that of Saint-Valery-sur-Somme, which was a strategic port and a medieval town that witnessed many historical events. In 1066, William the Conqueror departed from Saint-Valery-sur-Somme with his fleet to invade England. In 1431, Joan of Arc was imprisoned in Saint-Valery-sur-Somme before being transferred to Rouen. In 1568, a massacre of Huguenots took place in Saint-Valery-sur-Somme after a battle between Catholics and Protestants

Le Hourdel Lighthouse

In 1943, a military base was installed by General Erwin Rommel, in charge of the defense of the Atlantic Wall on the Northwest. He transformed the beach into a vast construction site: minefield, construction of blockhouses, IEDs. in August 1944, following the landing of the Allied forces in Normandy, the German troops were ordered to withdraw. they take the time to dynamite the lighthouses, destroy their installations and devastate the Hameau du Hourdel.
