The Saint-Pierre de Corbie Abbey Church is a Gothic church which was once the main building of a powerful Benedictine abbey. Founded in the 7th century by Queen Bathilde, the abbey played an important role in the Carolingian Renaissance and produced numerous manuscripts and missionaries. The church itself has been rebuilt several times following fires and wars, and today only a third of its original length remains. You can admire its impressive façade, its high vaults and its rich furnishings, as well as discover the history of the abbey and the town of Corbie at the nearby museum. The Abbey Church of Saint-Pierre de Corbie is a monument that will take you back in time and will inspire you with its beauty and its heritage.

The Etangs de la Barette are a natural site of approximately 40 hectares located in the communes of Corbie and Vaux-sur-Somme. The site is made up of large artificial ponds which were dug by the monks of Corbie Abbey to serve as a fishpond, then used for peat extraction in the 19th century. You can enjoy the view of the water and wetlands, and observe the diverse flora and fauna that populate the site. You will also be able to see the Blue Fountains, water springs that appear blue due to the reflection of sunlight on the chalky bottom. The Etangs de la Barette are an ideal destination for nature lovers who wish to discover a rich and preserved environment.

This path, formerly used for hauling boats by horses or men, offers a variety of landscapes and historical sites. You can enjoy the fresh air, nature and tranquility of this charming towpath.

On the towpath, we have on one side the ponds of the Barette and on the other the Somme.

This old towpath offers beautiful views and a relaxing calm. There are no more draft horses there as in the past, but only a few cyclists and barges.

A towpath or towpath, Bomätscherpfad,treppenweg or Reckweg is a path directly on the bank of a river or canal that was created so that people, draft animals or locomotives could pull cargo ships upstream.

It's not bad for what there is to see without being extraordinary but it is not mountain biking, (VTC) including a lot of cycle path.
