Hotels in Picardy, France
Picardy is a region in northern France with a temperate climate (summers average 70F/21C, winters around 40F/4C), famous for its Gothic cathedrals like Amiens Cathedral and the World War I battlefields along the Somme River. In mild summers, you can bike through the Somme Valley or tour the 42-meter high choir of the cathedral, while cool winters are perfect for exploring the trenches at the Historial de la Grande Guerre museum in Peronne. Spring brings blooming gardens at the Chateau de Chantilly, but autumn is the best time for birdwatching at Marquenterre Park in the Baie de Somme.
