GR®800 Somme river trail

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

Chemins de Grandes Randonnees

The GR800, the true waterway of the Hauts-de-France region, follows the Somme River from its source to its mouth. The trail meanders first through bucolic landscapes and verdant valleys before reaching Saint-Quentin and its majestic basilica. The route then reaches Amiens, famous for its Gothic cathedral and its renowned Hortillonnages, a labyrinth of floating gardens where nature reigns supreme. Between Abbeville and the sea, the river widens, revealing exceptional biodiversity with reedbeds and protected marshes, havens for migratory birds. The journey culminates in the Bay of Somme, at Saint-Valery-sur-Somme, where the ever-changing light and the vastness of the estuary offer one of the most beautiful seascapes in Europe.
