The town of Bapaume presents one of the most traditional facets of Pas-de-Calais. From its belfry in the village center to the many trails that surround it, discover an authentic village.

French politician, MP and then resistance fighter, born on November 6, 1890 in Bapaume, he became mayor of the town in 1929. In 1934, he was elected general councilor of Pas-de-Calais. In 1936, he ran in the legislative elections and was elected in the second round. He was arrested in 1943 by the Nazis as he left the prefecture, and deported to the Gross-Rosen camp where he died on November 27, 1944. Since 1948, a monument showing him at the time of his arrest honors his memory. At the Town Hall there is an urn with soil from Gross-Rosen as well as a painting of him.

A nice little castle that deserves a short stop!

The contrast is striking on this stretch of road which runs along the Somme, here transformed into a canal. In 2018 it was a grassy path. Today this comfortable macadam has replaced the jolts of the track.
