Holiday homes & apartments
in Picardy

Fast travel with the TGV

Picardy is a very special region in the north of France and has been part of the Hauts-de-France region since 2016. The former province consisted of the departments Oise, Aisne, and Somme. The south of the region can be reached from Paris in about an hour by car or train. The largest airport in Picardy is Beauvais Airport. Many holidaymakers who rent a holiday home or apartment privately fly to Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport and continue their journey with the TGV. The TGV high-speed line Nord between Paris and Lille runs through Picardy. The TGV stop Haute-Picardie is located between Amiens and Saint-Quentin. The region is also crossed by the A 1 in a north-south direction and the A 26 and A 29 in a west-east direction. Book a holiday accommodation or apartment with a terrace or garden by the sea now and enjoy exciting excursions to the nearby attractions.

Gentle winds on the beach

The average daily maximum temperature in Picardy is 16 degrees Celsius. If you don't need it to be too hot during the summer months, a holiday home or apartment in this region is the perfect choice. The best time to travel is between June and August. Due to the good climatic conditions, a holiday with a pet or dog is also suitable. Frolic with your four-legged friend on the beach, enjoy the gentle winds, and relax in a unique natural landscape in the north of France, for example in Abbeville.

Amiens as a hotspot for gourmets

There are some regional delicacies and dishes that you can try during a holiday with a holiday home or apartment in Picardy. We recommend the macarons d'Amiens. These are macaroons filled with marzipan and honey. Sweet treats are available in many variations. Gourmets swear by the Tuiles amiennoises (biscuits with orange and chocolate) or the beignets d'Amiens (doughnuts with goat's cream cheese, beef marrow, and egg). If you want to taste the famous duck liver pâté, look for pâté de canard d'Amiens on the menus of local restaurants. Other typical specialties can be found in other towns of the region, such as the artichokes from Laon, the cider from Thiérache, beans from Soissons, or leeks. Maroilles is an old cheese variety made from raw or pasteurized cow's milk. In every town in Picardy, there are other local delicacies and specialties - also of a culinary nature.

Dream beaches and the Wild West

Picardy in France has some beautiful seaside resorts that are suitable for a holiday with an apartment or holiday home. We also recommend the offers for a beach holiday in Picardy - with accommodations located in the immediate vicinity of the coastal sections. The most popular places with beautiful beaches include Le Crotoy, Cayeux-sur-Mer, Ault, Mers-les-Bains, Fort-Mahon-Plage, or Saint-Valery-sur-Somme. The amusement park La Mer de Sable between Ermenonville and Senlis is suitable for families. It is a park themed around the Wild West and Native Americans - set in a beautiful and natural sand and dune landscape.

The model for Cologne Cathedral

Those who rent a holiday home or apartment here usually want to go to the sea. No wonder, as the endless sandy beaches enchant holidaymakers time and again. An extraordinary holiday destination is the picturesque town of Mers-Les-Bains. Here, white chalk cliffs line up along a spectacular steep coast. Visit them! In the hinterland, those seeking relaxation can get their money's worth. Visit old half-timbered towns and enjoy local and culinary specialties, such as old wine or old beer. A hotspot is the city of Amiens, where the largest cathedral in France stands. Notre-Dame d'Amiens is one of the three classic cathedrals of French High Gothic from the 13th century. The imposing building, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, was once the model for Cologne Cathedral and St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York. There are also noteworthy Gothic cathedrals in Senlis, Beauvais, and Soissons. In Naours, you can go 30 meters deep into the underground. This is an underground passage system with halls, stables, chapels, and even a bakery. Here you can delve deep into history. Today, a park is set up around the underground. The city of Laon, known as a center for art and history, is worth a visit. Treasures from the Middle Ages can be found in Coucy-le-Château-Auffrique. Friends of impressive castles will enjoy Pierrefonds, Compiègne, and Chantilly. Book one of the apartments or villas in a beautiful landscape by the sea, for example in Saint-Pierremont, and spend unforgettable days.
