The Montagne de Frise is truly outstanding, with its untamed atmosphere, its wealth of plant and wildlife and great views of the Upper Somme lakes. It is also a place of history and remembrance whose rugged terrain, marked by shell holes and trench networks, still bears the scars of the Battle of the Somme, a major offensive during the First World War. The village of Frise, owners of the site, and Picardy Nature Conservancy have worked together to preserve and develop this site, with the support of many other partners.

En famille

Whoever said that the Somme department was flat? Challenge your family to climb to the top of the Montagne de Frise. There are wonderful views of the Somme valley: its lakes, meanders, magical mists. Plus a life-size history lesson for children, in the footsteps of the soldier-writer, Blaise Cendrars, who was stationed here during the Great War.

Entre amis

For your next Sunday outing with friends, why not climb to the top of one of our Picardy 'mountains'? Enjoy some physical exercise in the great outdoors. Plus lots of other interesting things to discover. Your mate who's keen on history will be fascinated by the remains of wartime trenches (the same as those that Blaise Cendrars encountered during the Great War). The friend who loves plant and wildlife will also be delighted: dragonflies, wild orchids, sheep can all be found here.

Your host recommends

After a walk in this lovely natural setting, you could stay in the area and take a trip on the P'tit train de la Haute Somme (tourist train) or take a leisurely tour of the lock keepers' houses at Eclusier-Vaux-sur-Frise and La-Neuville-les-Bray.
