The Saint-Pierre de Corbie Abbey Church is a Gothic church which was once the main building of a powerful Benedictine abbey. Founded in the 7th century by Queen Bathilde, the abbey played an important role in the Carolingian Renaissance and produced numerous manuscripts and missionaries. The church itself has been rebuilt several times following fires and wars, and today only a third of its original length remains. You can admire its impressive façade, its high vaults and its rich furnishings, as well as discover the history of the abbey and the town of Corbie at the nearby museum. The Abbey Church of Saint-Pierre de Corbie is a monument that will take you back in time and will inspire you with its beauty and its heritage.

As a memorial to the endless number of war dead, such a “Cimetiere militaire” – in German they are usually referred to as a “war cemetery” or “soldiers' cemetery” – is still very important today. “Now you, Lord, let your servant depart in peace, as you said...” it says in the so-called “Song of Simeon” (Gospel of Luke chapter 2, verse 29). However, the many people buried here by no means died in peace, but rather became victims of war and an inhumane tyranny. The most important and at the same time enduring function of military or honorary cemeteries or war cemeteries is to keep the memory of this suffering alive and - every generation anew (!) - to remind us of the lasting preservation of peace.

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.

A nice path between Ignaucourt and Démuin, rather easy to ride even if it is sometimes narrow with dense vegetation, sometimes muddy. But nothing technical and quite flat.
