Tips from the Community
The Eaucourt-sur-Somme marsh is located in the downstream part of the middle Somme valley, on the left bank of the canal, within the largest complex of alkaline peat bogs in Northern France. With an area of nearly 40 hectares, the site is characterized by vast peat and paratourbe meadows on which several hut ponds are inserted, in the part owned by the Conservatoire du Littoral. The communal part corresponds to the sector of the rouissoirs (retting pits), where blue springs are present. The Conservatoire d’espaces naturels has been working since 2011 to preserve this site. The meadows grazed by cows notably host the Criquet palustre (marsh cricket) and the Orchis négligé (neglected orchid). Visitor trails allow you to walk along these meadows and observe the blue spring. https://www.cen-hautsdefrance.org/site/le-marais-communal-deaucourt-sur-somme/

This country church was built in the 18th century with dressed stone and a slate roof. Note its stained-glass windows, restored in 2004, which let in a pretty light.

It was founded by the future Saint Riquier in 625, on a spring, the object of a very ancient pagan cult. The abbey became royal in 632 thanks to the protection granted to it by Dagobert I. It was Charlemagne himself who entrusted his son-in-law, Angilbert, with the construction of a new and vast abbey using the finest materials, thus forging a model of religious architecture for ecclesiastical buildings in the West. Thanks to a library that, over the centuries, became one of the most important in Europe, and a scriptorium active in the creation and dissemination of the Caroline minuscule, the abbey played a significant role in the preservation and transmission of knowledge until the end of the 12th century. A jewel of Gothic architecture, the Abbey has suffered numerous destructions due to fires and looting, but remains today one of the most beautiful buildings in France, notably thanks to the work carried out by Charles d'Aligre in the 17th century.
