Bourseville (Somme, France)
Bourseville is a small rural commune in the Somme department, at the heart of a bocage landscape and cultivated plains. The village offers a calm atmosphere, typical of Picard communes, ideal for those seeking a peaceful stop away from major tourist routes. Its location allows quick access to the main natural sites of the Picard coastline while enjoying a preserved agricultural environment. You will often find farms, sunken lanes and open views over the countryside.
Heritage and history
Local buildings reflect the rural phases of Picardy: brick farms and village houses with pitched roofs. Local memory is marked by the region’s agrarian history and the demographic changes of the 20th century. Small parish churches and wayside crosses, common in the area, punctuate the landscape and recall village traditions.
Nature and landscapes
The surroundings of Bourseville offer bocage landscapes, meadows and crops that change with the seasons. A short distance away, the Baie de Somme offers dune and saline natural areas, important for ornithology. Sunrises and sunsets over the fields can be very photogenic, especially in autumn.
