Northern Picardy is largely a flat or gently undulating area of open fields (including the Somme department, best known for the WWI Battle of the Somme), while the south of Picardy is a scenic region of hills and forests. There are three departments within the Picardy region: Aisne, Oise and Somme.
Among the highlights to discover in Picardy:
- The cathedrals at Amiens (see also Amiens cathedral) and Laon are perhaps two of the best to be found in France, with other cathedrals at Soissons, Noyon and Senlis.
-The town of Amiens also has some interesting highlights, as do the historical centre and art-deco buildings of Saint-Quentin.
