Crossed by the Canal du Nord, the town of Allaines boasts a rich history spanning the centuries. Gallo-Roman vases have been found in its soil, before the village became a strategic location during wars of various eras.

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.

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

allaines is a commune with a rich history. Large quantities of Gallo-Roman vases have been found in the ground. Allaines is said to be the Vicus Helena where the Romans of Aetius won the victory over the Franks of Clodion the Hairy in 448. At the time of the Templars, underground passages were dug under the current church. In 1653, numerous skirmishes took place between the Spanish and the troops of the Lord Marshal de la Ferté. The bones that are often found in a place called Land of Tombs bear witness to these deadly battles. In 1870, during the siege of Péronne, the Prussian army of Von Goeben came to reform at Allaines, in the Tortille valley, and then headed towards Saint-Quentin, after being defeated by General Faidherbe. Phosphate mining ended in 1895, which had brought the village considerable income. During the First World War, during the Battle of the Somme, on 15 September 1916, the village was retaken by the French army. The losses were heavy, the 60th Infantry Regiment was wiped out and the 44th Infantry Regiment lost 600 soldiers.
