A very pleasant walk along the canal in Rieval and a war memorial. Motorhome area departure point

Magnificent walk along the water, then visit the underground canal along the canal in a path between the trees with holes, bumps and bends (a real treat) to finish with a nice route in the Holnon woods. I recommend it. To do either as a walk or at speed, the choice is yours!

Very nice museum in a great, historic building. A must visit on a bike tour 😍.

The Église Notre-Dame De L’Assemption is a Catholic church located in the commune of Doingt, in the east of the Somme department, near Péronne. The church was built in the second quarter of the 20th century and was inaugurated on 26 October 1930. It was designed by the architect Maurice Quentin and is built in the Neo-Romanesque style with a traditional basilica plan. The facade of the church has features of Romanesque art, such as sober and narrow windows, buttresses, a circular portico with a typed sculpture representing the Virgin surrounded by angels, arched folds resting on a column on each side, and a rose window above the portico. The church has a massive and projecting bell tower which is reminiscent of Romanesque bell towers by its structure and sober decoration. The interior of the church is decorated with a mural by Gustave Riquet representing the Assumption of the Virgin. The church was restored in 2016-2017.

Doingt is a commune on the banks of the River Somme. The settlement was destroyed during the First World War. A Commonwealth cemetery is located just outside the town. The village and its church have been rebuilt and in 2023 a crucifix, rescued from the ruins of the village church by a British military chaplain after the Battle of the Somme and placed in All Saints’ Church, Tinwell in Rutland, England, was returned to the new church.

The Monument aux Morts in Péronne is a monument commemorating the victims of the First World War. The monument was designed by the architect Louis Faille and the sculptor Paul Auban. The monument is located in a public square and consists of a stone wall framing a terrace, the corners of which are occupied by planters. The monument contains a striking sculpture called “La Picarde maudissant la guerre” (The Picard who curses the war). The sculpture shows a woman on her knees, crying over the body of a dead soldier, while raising her fist in the air to curse the war. The monument was inaugurated on 20 June 1926.

In Peronne, the Musee de la Bataille de la Somme is particularly worth seeing. Within sight of the castle is the town square and a few cafés where you can take a relaxing break.

The former fortified town of Péronne had a hard time in 1914-1918. In a modern museum, the daily life of the soldiers and the population during the First World War is vividly depicted. but Péronne is also famous for its eel and colvert beer. The city is a trading and marina on the Canal du Nord, at the confluence of the Cologne and the Somme, and extends along the fish-rich ponds and hardines, vegetable farms.
