Abbeville is a city in the Somme department of the Hauts-de-France region in northern France, located on the banks of the Somme River, 45 kilometers northwest of Amiens, and also serves as the sub-prefecture of the Somme department. Although Abbeville was heavily bombed during World War II, it still boasts many historical sites that are well worth visiting. The ancient St. Vulfran’s Church (St. Vulfran's Church) features beautiful Flamboyant Gothic architecture, though its original design was never fully completed. It has two impressive Gothic towers on its sides. The Boucher de Perthes Museum, housed in the bell tower, contains artworks and other artifacts dating back to around the 16th century. It also regularly hosts various exhibitions each month. The Saint-Vulfran Collegiate Church in the old town center is an 11th-century Gothic church that is equally worth a visit. In addition, the bustling shopping streets, beautiful parks, and nature-close outdoor activities are all great experiences to enjoy.
