Amiens walks

The Hortillonnages are a series of floating gardens in the heart of Amiens, criss-crossed by over 60 km of canals. They can be explored by boat. Here, we will walk around them.

Enjoy a pleasant walk starting from the Pierre et Marie Curie School in Pont-de-Metz. The route first takes you past the village church, before following a peaceful dirt track alongside the Étang de la Ballastière lake. The route continues through the Parc du Pré du Moulin, offering a green and relaxing setting, then ends by following the railway line, for a walk combining nature and local heritage.

A short walk around Boves to get a glimpse of the rolling, wooded landscape of the Picardy countryside. You will then discover the marshes of the Saint-Ladre pond nature reserve.

This hike takes you along a section of the GR®123 between Clairy-Saulchoix and Saveuse. This pleasant route crosses varied landscapes combining fields and forests. The route follows a section of the long-distance hiking trail linking Contes (Pas-de-Calais) to Carlepont (Oise), and offers a detour to the commune of Ferrières, with its peaceful forest and shaded paths, ideal for a nature break on the outskirts of Amiens.

Through the Saint-Ladre Nature Reserve and its specially designed route, you will discover the frogs that live in the ponds.

The 83 doors and windows of Guyencourt sur Noye Castle give you a taste of what to expect at Remiencourt Castle. Follow the sunken lanes.

A pleasant hike around the lands of Saint-Nicolas. It allows you to discover the farms of Saint-Nicolas and Ereuse, passing through the Absous and Domont valleys and skirting the woods of Ramées, Berny, Domont and Petit Bois Lefèbvre.

The "souffle de la terre" (breath of the earth), a night-time sound and light show, illuminates this route between the lake and the charming little church of Berny.

A 10 km hike where you will see castles, churches, dovecotes...

A pleasant little walk that can be enjoyed with the family, discovering the local flora and fauna.

Hike starting from Bourdon, which takes you deep into the Picardy countryside before returning to your starting point along the Canal de la Somme.

This route partly follows an old marked trail (the Volpin) which seems to have disappeared (there are a few markings near Marieux). It would appear that in the north of the Somme, the lifespan of marked trails is as short as that of hares. It is of course possible to do only 17 km (by turning left at point 11), but the small northern circular route is very interesting. There are very few roads and the paths are very good, but sometimes very grassy. The route will change in May 2024, as the path between the cemetery and the church is currently blocked.

A memorial hike in territory that became Canadian after the First World War, in tribute to the soldiers from the island of Newfoundland who were engaged here on the day the Battle of the Somme began (1 July 1916) and of whom the vast majority were killed or wounded. A moving, well-maintained route with well-preserved remains.

This list includes several hikes that pay tribute to soldiers of all nationalities who fought in the First World War. More than a century later, certain remnants still bear witness to the appalling conditions in which they lived. In the list, these hikes are classified according to the front line, from north to south and then from west to east.

A lovely walk on the borders of Pas-de-Calais and the Somme.You'll discover the pretty Quilienne river (which did a lot of damage in 2016) and the Bois de Saint-Pierre (woods). It's possible to add one or two extensions, so that the trail can exceed 22km (see practical info).

There is very little tarmac on this route , which is best done in dry weather.Discover La Cavée, ravaged by storms a few years ago and beautifully restored.A good stretch of the route is on the old railway line (well shaded) before descending to the beautiful village of Grouches-Luchuel.
