COUCY À LA MERVEILLE
Read moreFor the past thirty years, on certain evenings in July, the castle ruins have come alive. Fantastic and improbable beings, accompanied by beautiful ladies and gentlemen, emerge from the void to the delight of spectators.

FÊTES MÉDIÉVALES DE LAON
Read moreWould you like to spend a weekend in the Middle Ages? The town of Laon invites you to take a delightful trip back in time to the heart of the medieval city. The setting of the upper town is obviously ideal for this journey back in time. The numerous free events are sure to keep the public on their toes. Children love to try their hand at archery, watch the knights or play traditional Picardy games. The street shows and medieval market are a big hit with everyone. A recommended family outing.
FÊTE DES FLEURS
Read moreA real popular festival at Cayeux-sur-Mer in the bay of the Somme. Adorned with a multitude of gladioli (nearly 9,000!) and multicoloured dahlias, the town becomes an even more lively place for a day. On the programme: parade of floats decorated with flowers by the associations, competition for the most beautiful float, musical entertainment in the afternoon at the city's kiosk and open-air disco in the evening on Boulevard du Général Sizaire, with a splendid fireworks display as a final bouquet. Every year, the public is present in large numbers in the streets of the city.
RALLYE DES CONTES ET LÉGENDES DE LA THIÉRACHE
Read moreA hike that mixes both body and mind. In the heart of nature (in Effry for the 2016 edition), the games of address and reflection are multiplying in a good atmosphere. The map of the Legend of the Thiérache in hand, discover beautiful landscapes and take the time to observe the fauna and flora. On the floor of the cows or on water in canoe, the day will be completed. A puzzle to solve, a physical effort, the pleasure of being with friends or family because it is a team race, many lots to win, this is a beautiful idea of exit to renew every year.

FÊTE DE LA MER
Read moreOrganised in honour of the sea and sailors, the Fête de la Mer at Le Crotoy is an event not to be missed. Magnificent in traditional costumes, the sailors parade with the musicians of the local harmony and the giants of Berck, Flip and Zabeth. Follow them, hoping that there are enough free places on the boats to participate in the blessing of the sea. The Marseillaise resounds during the stopover near the monument dedicated to the sailors who disappeared in the changing waters of the English Channel. A market of regional products and various festivities also take place during this weekend, such as jousting in the hunting basin and outings at sea.

LA 14-18
Read moreThis is a very special race, at once a leap into the past on a World War I site, an obstacle course and a slightly crazy challenge on Great War sites such as the Montigny quarries! This race includes more than fifty obstacles spread over 11 kilometres. You will have to crawl, slide, climb, cross a river, carry, face mud and clay... For those accompanying you or for the less courageous, historical re-enactments, hikes and guided tours are organised.
