Picardy : Discover
The north of the country is full of surprises! You have, in the trees, huts to lodge and accrobranches for thrills. You can visit the workshop of a wooden toy maker and meet a camel driver and his camels for an unusual caravan, discover the country of Maroilles cheese and Chimey beer in a 2CV. But also visit a fairy garden, a sculpture garden, the confectionery house and the small waffle museum in a house where waffles are made with vergoise, chicory, violet and even Wambrechies whisky! Another thing? L'arbre à poule, an eco-place in the Oise, the Frontinelles boat elevator on the Neuffossé canal (Arques), the Maison des phares in Le Touquet-Paris-Plage, the Hortillonnages museum (Rivery). Finally, you can sleep in a hobbit village (Somme) among other unusual accommodations in Hauts-de-France.
