This is where the Somme River rises. Its name is traced back to Celtic origins and also gives its name to the department of the same name. At the time when Gaul was part of the Roman Empire, the river was called the Samara. It ends its approximately 245-kilometer-long river life in the Baie de Somme, where it flows into the English Channel.

A beautiful, tree-lined trail around the Saint-Quentin Canal. An easy, family-friendly route. Enjoy your walk.

Voies Navigables de France operates the Tronquoy river tunnel (1,098 m) on the Saint-Quentin canal, which dates from the beginning of the 19th century.

Joncourt British Cemetery is a serene military cemetery located in Joncourt, France, and contains the graves of British soldiers who died during the First World War. Designed by William Cowlishaw, the cemetery is situated on the road from Joncourt to Levergies, approximately half a mile south of the village centre1. With a rectangular plan and surrounded by a stone wall, the cemetery provides a peaceful place for reflection. The Cross of Sacrifice, a hallmark of British military cemeteries, stands in the western corner1. The graves of 61 soldiers, three of whom are unidentified, belong to the 10th Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders1. The cemetery is lovingly maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, who ensure that the memory of these soldiers is kept alive.

Tribute to the Resistance fighters who participated in parachute drops in the area during the Second World War. Duty of memory.

I go there regularly, super nice as a course

One of the unfortunately many small cemeteries following the terrible First World War that raged here in the early 20th century. Around Oncourt you will find several of these cemeteries, as well as bunkers from that time. A sad past.
