This impressive cemetery was built in 1920-1921 on a site that was heavily contested during the First World War. It contains the remains of 1,258 French soldiers, 547 of whom are buried in two ossuaries. One French soldier from the Second World War is also buried here. Adjacent is a German military cemetery with the remains of 1,095 soldiers, 388 of whom are buried in collective graves, together with four British and two French soldiers. The necropolis is located in a region where the German advance towards Paris passed through in 1914, and where fierce fighting took place in 1918 during the Battle of Matz. Today it is a serene place of remembrance and reconciliation, in the middle of a landscape that was once the scene of devastating battles.

The castle is almost invisible from the towpath. Good that the highlight is positioned correctly, otherwise you will definitely miss it.

Το Château d'Happlaincourt, ένα μεσαιωνικό κάστρο, χρονολογείται από τον 13ο αιώνα και αρχικά ήταν ένα οχυρωμένο κτίσμα με τετράγωνη κάτοψη, που περιβαλλόταν από νερό. Κατά τη διάρκεια του Α' Παγκοσμίου Πολέμου, το κάστρο καταστράφηκε σε μεγάλο βαθμό, αφήνοντας σήμερα μόνο ερείπια. Ιστορικά, έπαιξε ρόλο στην Καθολική Λίγκα τον 16ο αιώνα, όταν ο Jacques d'Humières συνέταξε εκεί ένα μανιφέστο για την αποκατάσταση της καθολικής θρησκείας.

The town of Péronne is truly charming and well worth a visit. The Somme River forms natural ponds that surround the city, giving it an undeniable appeal. Its old town is located on a small hill overlooking the entire area.

The museum covers the period of the First World War in all its aspects: military, social, cultural.

This museum is located on the front lines of the Battle of the Somme. The white concrete design by architect Henri-Edouard Ciriani describes a gentle arc set into the southwest wall of the medieval castle. It forms a harmonious whole with the four large round towers, each with a diameter of 9 m. The building at the Etang du Cam stands on a series of smooth white concrete columns, creating a beautiful reflection in the water. The rooms are accessed through an opening in the wall of the 13th-century castle, which was built by the Counts of Vermandois. Charles the Bold imprisoned Louis XI in one of the towers.
