The Points-Nœuds network
Multiply the possibilities for your outings!
Since spring 2023, the Baie de Somme Picardie Maritime Regional Nature Park has been operating a network of hubs around Abbeville.
It’s a signposting system straight out of the Netherlands and Belgium. The aim of a point-node network is to make it possible to travel throughout the country by following a network of numbered crossroads, giving priority to small roads and even some paths. At a certain number of crossroads, a beacon indicates the number of the crossroads and directions to the following numbers.
In practice, you define your own route according to the length you want, in a loop or in a line, noting the succession of numbers you want to follow to discover the hidden treasures of the area!
A network of small roads
Beautiful discoveries
The “Somme à Vélo” network of node points is being tested around Abbeville. This signposting system allows you to discover the whole of the west of the département. The Baie de Somme, of course, but also the Bresle, Trie, Authie and Maye valleys. It extends into the Somme Valley as far as Long and Longpré-les-corps-Saints.
A paper map is available from Tourist Offices in the area. Don’t hesitate to drop in and ask for advice on how to make the most of this new waymarking system, which allows you to build your own routes à la carte, according to your level and your desires!
Discover the entire network online on the Somme en Poche Mobile Application.
From your Internet access or by downloading the application free of charge from your mobile Store!
The Points Noeuds “Somme à Vélo” network project has been financed as part of the European Eurocyclo project, with the aim of gradually linking up Northern France! Two other French networks already exist in the North near the Belgian border.
