Tip by

1.05 km

While being on the outskirts of the city, you feel like in another universe. Whether on the side of the floating gardens, also called hortillonnages, or the peacefully flowing river, you no longer know where to look. Everyone will find in this route reasons to stroll and admire or else to practice a sporting activity far from the tumults of the city. This path being narrow in places and sometimes very busy, please respect other users, remain courteous and careful.

Tour of the Glisy ponds

Highlight (Segment) • Other

The trail that loops around the Glisy ponds is very pleasant, alternating between dirt paths and passages on wooden slats. Don't forget that this is a quiet area reserved for fishermen!

Lamotte-Brebière Locks

Highlight • Structure

The Lamotte-Brebière lock was built in 1870 to regulate the flow of water and prevent flooding of neighboring hortillonnages. The lock is located in a magnificent setting, surrounded by greenery and wildlife. You can also visit the historic lock keeper's house, transformed into a cultural café where you can eat and attend artistic events.

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.
