Nice view of the ponds and the villa "Les étangs".

Poorly maintained path through the undergrowth. Tall grass for a good half of it, not very smooth. Very muddy in winter.

opposite the Quai du Canal, you can sit comfortably in the shade

Integrated into the communal cemetery, this necropolis contains 888 bodies: 863 casualties of the First World War and 25 casualties of the Second World War. 644 British, 202 Canadian, 39 Australian, and 3 Indian. It was primarily used by combat units and field ambulances from August 1915 to March 1918, when these troops replaced French units in the area. Activity was particularly intense from September to November 1916, when aid stations were numerous in Albert, located just behind the front where the final weeks of the Battle of the Somme were taking place. It was not until the end of August 1918 that this cemetery was again used by the 18th Division. During the Second World War, the extension was used again when the French moved 25 British casualties there from isolated graves in and around Albert.

Towpath on both sides. Feel free to explore.

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.

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