The Region of Picardy - or Picardie as it is written in French - consists of three departments, the Oise (60), capital Beauvais, the Aisne (02) capital Laon, and the Somme (80), whose capital Amiens, is also the regional capital.

Lying in the historic centre of action of western Europe, in the triangle between Paris, Amsterdam and London, Picardy is an area with a very rich history. It was in this part of France that were fought some of the most famous battles of French and European history, notably the battle of Crécy, and the battle of the Somme.

And in the course of the last thousand years, areas that are now part of modern region of Picardy have been ruled over at different times by the English, the Habsburgs, the Spanish and the French.

In past centuries, the region was relatively prosperous; its productive farmlands, including a large expanse of flat or relatively flat land, created wealth in local towns and cities, a wealth now reflected in the many fine gothic churches and cathedrals of the region.

As for the northern part of the region, including the departments of the Somme and most of the Aisne, these areas are largely agricultural. This gives way to nice villages dotted around the countryside and some very nice locations for both holiday homes in rural settings and property closer to the towns for full-time living.
