Feuillères (Somme, France)

Feuillères is a small rural commune situated on the banks of the Somme, in the eastern part of the department. A discreet village, it bears witness to a history marked by the First World War and an agricultural landscape punctuated by wetlands. There is a peaceful atmosphere, suited to hiking and nature watching. Its location allows easy access to museums and memorial sites in the region.

Heritage and history

The territory of Feuillères is close to the main battlefields of the Battle of the Somme (1916); traces, monuments and military necropolises are found in the immediate surroundings. The local heritage is modest: Picard farms and structures related to land irrigation. On-site archives and panels help place the village in the context of the fighting and post-war reconstruction.

Nature and landscapes

The winding course of the Somme, oxbow arms and wet meadows shape a characteristic bocage landscape. These areas shelter freshwater fauna and migratory birds. Sunrises over the river and lanes lined with hedges offer calm, changing views depending on the season.

Outdoor activities

The nearby trails and greenways are suitable for walking, cycling and fishing. Canals and riverbanks favor family strolls and birdwatching. Several cycle routes connect Feuillères to neighboring communes and historic sites.

Gastronomy and local products

Local cuisine follows the Picardy tradition: peasant dishes and regional specialties such as ficelle picarde, local cheeses and farm products. Markets and small shops in neighboring communes allow tasting of these products.
