Holiday rentals and lettings in Picardy

Seasonal rentals in Picardy are of a very varied nature and will therefore easily meet all needs. Many of them are located in the centre of the main Picardy cities and are therefore ideal for a long weekend spent visiting their most beautiful monuments. There are also rentals in rural areas, particularly along the Baie de Somme. These are perfectly suited for a week of relaxation in the countryside. Whatever your choice, you will be seduced by the comfort and convenience of each Picardy seasonal rental.

Picardy is a former administrative region composed of the departments of Somme, Oise and Aisne. It is now part of the Hauts-de-France region. If a large part of its territory is devoted to agriculture, it also has several cities with a particularly rich heritage such as Amiens, Beauvais, Compiègne, Laon or Soissons. Its coastal area, along the Somme estuary, is very popular with tourists.

The main municipalities of Picardy are well served by transport from Paris, some by the TGV or by the TER for the most part. A car will certainly be necessary to fully enjoy your stay if you plan to go to the Baie de Somme.

Picardy is home to some of the most beautiful Gothic churches in Europe. The one in Beauvais is particularly famous for its sublime medieval clock but also for having once been the largest building in the world. Notre-Dame de Senlis is known for the refinement of the statues on its portal.

The most impressive civil building in Picardy is the Château de Pierrefonds, an imposing fortress erected by Louis d'Orléans and then entirely renovated by Viollet-le-Duc. Former royal residence, the castle of Compiègne is also worth a visit.

If the majestic building built by Jean Bullant in the sixteenth century attracts all eyes, the estate is also well known for its stables. These have been magnificently renovated and now house the Horse Museum.

Built in the sixteenth century, this building is recognizable at first sight by its opulent facade, harmoniously blending elements of flamboyant Gothic and Renaissance.
