Places to see in Abbeville photos and guide




Abbeville is a French town in the Picardy region where the Somme river becomes a canal.

The town was a very attractive place with wooden framed buildings.

In May 1940 a German air raid destroyed a lot of the town.

The church of Église St-Vulfran with its Gothic front well worth a visit. The door panels were carved in the 16th century.
