Walking in PicardyPicardy holds many surprises. “An urban explorer walk changes the way that people look at the streets they may sometimes go down every day" the Picardy regional hiking committee explains. Amiens, Abbeville, Soissons, Beauvais, Laon, Saint-Quentin, Compiègne, Noyon, Péronne, Vervins, Château-Thierry etc. all have a character, museums, old districts, rare collections, pleasant terraces and enthusiastic guides. At weekends from April to November, Picardy towns and villages are also the stage for traditional bric-a-brac markets – more than 300 every year. Whether you’re looking for anything or not, just rooting around is a pleasure for soaking up a Picardy tradition that is alive and well. On the Champagne Tourist Route in Aisne in autumn, it is like a big gourmet outing - champagne cellars, apples, chestnuts and grapes overlooked by harvesters when the path runs beside the vines.
