Somme river trail

From Fonsomme (Aisne) to St-Valery-sur-Somme (Somme)

225km

The Somme is a river that is 245 km long, which flows through the departments of Aisne and Somme in Picardy, northern France. It originates from the heights of the ancient Arrouaise forest in Fonsomme near Saint-Quentin and flows into the Bay of Somme, in the English Channel. The Somme is a typical chalk stream characterized by a very low gradient, slow waters, and a regular flow fed by uninterrupted seepage. The river passes through several towns and villages such as Amiens, Abbeville, and Saint-Valery-sur-Somme. It is also known for the Battle of the Somme that took place during World War I. The GR®800 is a hiking trail that follows the river as closely as possible from its source in Fonsomme to its meeting with the sea in the Bay of Somme. It runs through the valley of the Somme, called Samara in Roman times.
