    If you are looking for a unique destination in France, you could visit the village of Y, near Péronne. Y is the shortest place name in France and one of the shortest in the world. It is pronounced [i], like the letter E in English. The village has only 90 inhabitants and its name comes from the Latin Iacum, which means "estate". You can discover the rural charm of Y and its surroundings, and enjoy the view of the Somme valley. You can also visit the Historial de la Grande Guerre, a museum dedicated to the history of the First World War. Y is an ideal place if you like nature, history and anecdotes.
