The current Abbeville Town Hall is a 20th-century building designed by architect Clément Tambuté and inaugurated in 1960, replacing the original medieval structure that was destroyed during German bombing in May 1940. The modern building features a rectangular design constructed from brick and stone, with a facade supported by pillars and five large glazed bays. A contemporary belfry stands adjacent to the main building, connected by a covered gallery.

During the French Revolution, the church served as a "Temple of Reason" and hosted a festival in honor of the Supreme Being on June 8, 1794.

One of the finest examples of Flamboyant Gothic architecture in maritime Picardy, constructed between 1488-1539 for the nave and 1661-1663 for the choir. The church was built on marshy ground near a branch of the Somme River with an unusual north-facing façade instead of the traditional western orientation. During World War II, German artillery bombardment on May 20, 1940, caused a devastating fire that destroyed much of the building, with restoration completed only in 1998.

A very beautiful church, but pay attention to the opening hours.

Don't forget to stop at the bakery opposite the abbey church which makes the best "gâteau battu" in the region!

Worth seeing: The facade and interior of Abbéeville Cathedral.

Beautiful church with an interesting interior.
