Flight over the Somme battlefields

A really quite moving flight... You'll fly over the Red Baron's crash site, the Fricourt and la Boisselle Craters, the memorials and remains of the trenches…

Climb on board a little plane and go back in time... You'll be able to explore all the major points of interest which have so touched the memories and the lives of our families, as seen from the sky.... Pozières and Mouquet Farm, the Thiepval memorial, the Ulster tower, the trenches and the Beaumont-Hamel memorial... an emotionally charged stay during which we trace the lives of our loved ones...
In terms of accommodation, you'll see that simplicity is the name of the game as Patricia and Alain welcome you to their lovely home in the country, a mere 5 minutes' drive from the aerodrome and from Amiens... All their rooms have a garden view and breakfast is served amidst a sea of orchids... Patricia takes great pride in serving her guests home-made bread and buns, fresh fruit salad... just what you need to get your day off to a cracking start....

To discover

Just a stone's throw from your guest house, if you're up for a real nature trail, then why not explore the conservation area of the Blangy marshes... Whilst you're in the centre of Amiens, have a stroll through the picturesque and colourful Saint-Leu quarter, the historic heart of the town... and where the evening action is to be found in Amiens!! Then it's off to the Halles du Beffroi to treat yourself to some gastronomic delights... Forget anything you ever heard about diets and come and taste our "Chocolate tile", a marvellous mouthful of plain or milk chocolate sprinkled with almond flakes for that little extra crunchy taste... yum!!
