Please note that we're open only from May to September for individuals and from April to October for groups. Built in 1916 for the Battle of the Somme during WW1, our line was saved in 70's by railway enthusiasts as it was still used by a local sugar factory. Steam and Diesel locomotives, some being listed as Historic Monuments, run on this historic line, the last surviving from WW1. Our museum present a part of the society's collection ; about 35 locomotives and more than 100 wagons built from end of 19th century to 80's. Starting in the Somme valley along the river, after a tunnel and a Zig-Zag system in a wood, you'll discover a view on several kilometers on the Plateau du Santerre.

Situated at the Heart of the Battle of the Somme (1914/1918), the Somme 1916 Museum of ALBERT traces the lives of soldiers in the trenches during the Franco-British offensive in 1916. At 10 meters below ground and 250 meters in length, you will discover realistic and grasping scenes of the daily lives of our soldiers. Mannequins are brought to life through twelve realistic scenes transporting you to the past. Time passes but the memory remains. The museum is translated into 4 languages using panels (French-English-Dutch–German), and can also be guided by one of our guides in any of these languages.
Very informative and thought provoking exhibits helpful staff and a great place to learn more about the battles and life as it was at the time

On the Nonette River, in the heart of Chantilly, the Pavillon de Manse was built at the end of the 17th century by the Prince of Condé and transformed during the 19th century by the duke of Aumale. Designed by J.H Mansart and listed as an historic monument, the old mill houses the Prince of Condé's Machine des Grandes Eaux (1679) and the Duke of Aumale's hydraulic machinery room.
Recently rehabilitated, it's simply beautiful. There was a lot to see with regards to the architecture, the history of the place makes it all the more interesting.

Was greatly surprised by this place. Thought it would kill an hour but took three. So much detail to take in. Could go again and still not take in everything

Set up in the old medieval residence of the Lords of Crepy-Nanteuil, the Archery and Valois Museum owns a remarkable collection of statues dating from the Middle Ages to the 19th century, coming from the different Valois churches and chapels. Unique in France, it shows the various means of practising Archery all around the world from Prehistory until now and particularly the ancient traditions of the Archery companies.
