Tips from the Community
Stunning trompe-l'œil murals offer a subtle tribute to the Polish airmen who fell in the area during World War II. Near the church, you'll find a collection of old photographs and information about Naours as it once was. Don't forget to look at the street signs, some of which also include the name in Picard dialect – a rare find!

Rare climb worthy of the name in these surroundings

Small frescoes on the bridge in front of the church as well as on the large wall next to the school. There are several nods to the city.

Pretty village which deserves that one lingers there in particular for its belfry.

At its origin, the underground of Naours was a chalk quarry used mainly for the tidal range of fields. In the 16th century, it was transformed into a refuge, called "muches" (Picard hiding places), for the inhabitants of the village, their goods and their animals until the end of the 17th century. Fallen into oblivion in the 19th century, the underground city will be rediscovered in 1887, studied from an archaeological point of view and then opened to visitors. An important occupation during the Thirty Years' War has been attested by archeology1. This underground city could shelter nearly 2,000 people. Throughout the galleries are the rooms of the different families. Also noticeable are the stables with the troughs, the ventilation chimneys and the smoke chimneys which stood out in those of the houses. Almost everywhere on the walls there are inscriptions, religious symbols, etc. with dates ranging from the year 1340 to 1792. It was finally used by British soldiers during the Second World War. The visit is worth the detour! Sources: http://www.citesouterrainedenaours.fr/ https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cit%C3%A9_souterraine_de_Naours https://vimeo.com/169669941

Apart from the old keep that can be seen from the western part of the village, the castle of Lucheux, which has become an IME, has been destroyed several times, has kept among others its doors including the one known as "the village" which is visible from the paved road that goes up of the belfry.

Lucheux is a pretty village in the Somme. It was an imposing seigneury from the 12th century and remains the only town in Picardy to keep the three symbolic buildings of French medieval society: the castle, the belfry and the church. It deserves to be included in one of your cycling or hiking trips.
