Doullens
We arrived in the old town of Doullens quite by chance we had been visiting the battlefields of the Somme. The car sat nav took us here on the way back to Inxent our holiday base.
Doullens is about 20 miles from the city of Amiens in the Picardy region. The town is built on the banks of the river Authie. The town has a lot of WWl history it was a Casualty Clearing Station. You can visit the town hall free entrance and see the room and table where General Foch was given overall command of the allied forces on the western front. The town was bombed and occupied by the Germans in the second World War.
The centre of Doullens
The river Authie and a local Restaurant
When we arrived in the town we parked in the main car park right next to the ruins of Saint-Pierre, the 13th century church. There is also a market there once a week. Most of the shopping streets feed off the car park there is a good mix of shops and cafe bars. We saw a sign for the promenade which turned out to be a nice walkway on the banks of the river Authie through a park.
The belfry and the town hall
You can see the 17th century belfry in the photo there is a Tourist office in the building
The ruins of Saint-Pierre, the 13th century church.
