Canal du Nord

Highlight • River

The Canal du Nord is a 95 km long canal in northern France that connects the Oise Valley to the Dunkirk-Scheldt Canal. Construction began in 1908, but was interrupted by the First World War. The canal was not completed and opened to navigation until 1965.

The canal has 19 locks and two tunnels, including the Ruyaulcourt Tunnel, which spans a height difference of 40 metres. The Canal du Nord is an important waterway for inland navigation, but will be replaced in the future by the Seine-Nord Europe Canal, a more modern connection.

Historial of the Great War – Château de Péronne

Highlight • Castle

This fascinating museum with the subject of the First World War covers longer periods. The historial indeed explains in a very interesting way the preparation of the war, the war itself and how Europe was rebuilt after this tragedy.

The museum has two parts: You enter through the Château de Peronne which dates from the 13th century, and was built during the reign of Louis-Philippe. The second structure, which is more recent, dates from 2016. It is the work of architect Henri-Edouard Ariani and is located on the edge of the Cam pond.

Monument aux morts

Highlight • Other

The Monument aux Morts in Péronne is a monument commemorating the victims of the First World War. The monument was designed by the architect Louis Faille and the sculptor Paul Auban. The monument is located in a public square and consists of a stone wall framing a terrace, the corners of which are occupied by planters. The monument contains a striking sculpture called “La Picarde maudissant la guerre” (The Picard who curses the war). The sculpture shows a woman on her knees, crying over the body of a dead soldier, while raising her fist in the air to curse the war. The monument was inaugurated on 20 June 1926.

Château de Péronne

Highlight • Castle

The town of Péronne is really charming and deserves a stop.

The Somme here forms natural ponds that surround the city, giving it an undeniable attractiveness. Its old center is on a small hill which dominates the whole.
