PICARDIE

With access to the English Channel between Nord Pas-de Calais and Haute Normandie, the Pichardie Regeion borders those Regions as well as the Ille de France and the Champagne-Ardenne Regions. It has the following administrative departmetns: 60 Oise (capital city of Beauvais); 80 Somme (capital city of Amiens) and 2 Aisne (capital city of Laon).

 

Located less than an hour from Calais on the English Channel side, or just about 15 minutes from Paris Charles de Gaulle airport when you are leaving Paris, and voilia, you are in historic Picardie. This is one of those Regions that you will most likely pass through. We have only driven through this Region. So it is on our list of places to explore.
