Capital of maritime Picardy, the city of Abbeville boasts a magnificent building of Flamboyant Gothic style, the Saint-Vulfran collegiate church, with a magnificent carved facade.
Also to be visited: Saint-Sépulcre church, which features beautiful contemporary stained glass windows by Alfred Manessier, and the Château de Bagatelle with its French-style formal garden and landscaped park.
In La Bouvaque park you can walk along the banks and find out about the legends and other wonders of this natural setting at the heart of the town. Follow in the footsteps of the painter Alfred Manessier. This municipal park, with about sixty hectares of wetlands, boasts a wealth of plants and wildlife, including many sedentary and migratory birds. The 'sources bleues' (blue springs) are an unusual feature of the park.
