Poppy biscuits!
I love the “Biscuiterie du Coquelicot” in Albert (run by Philippe FERET). It’s great for an afternoon snack or to treat somebody before going home. There are many specialities made with poppies (the flower that symbolises the First World War): Neapolitan wafers, syrup, sweets… My favourite goodie in this shop is undoubtedly “Les Sablés aux Pétales de Coquelicot” (Poppy petal shortbread): incredibly tasty! You can also stock up on the local specialities such as “sirop de bleuet” (cornflower syrup), chicory-flavoured Neapolitan wafers, products based on sea buckthorn from the Bay of Somme…
On the “Chemin des automitrailleuses”
Set out in the footsteps of the German and French soldiers through the lakes and the Somme Valley. Starting off from the village of Curlu, this easy-going walk (10 km) will lead you to the locality of "Chapeau du Gendarme", a German stronghold until 1916. After the French forces took the locality, the first armoured cars entered the scene. The view from here of the Somme Valley is stunning.
