Picardie
Picardie is one of the oldest French provinces. Its coastline is known to be the most unspoilt one in France because it has kept its natural charm. The region is a haven for people who like water sports and fishing, riding and cycling because of its numerous leisure parks and sports facilities. Open to arts and culture, Picardie is home to a number of art exhibitions, along with music, film and theatre festivals throughout the year. Tourists should visit the picturesque village of Gerberoy in the Oise, the Gothic cathedral in Amiens, as well as the palaces, churches and abbeys in the region.
