ROYAL ABBEY AND ABBEY CHURCH
An old Benedictine abbey from the 7th century with a flamboyant gothic abbey church and beautiful wall paintings.
The ancient Benedictine abbey of Saint-Riquier, founded in the 7th century, offers exhibitions and a renowned classical music festival. The abbey church also illustrates all the stages of the Picardy flamboyant Gothic style that is the pride of the Centulois (inhabitants of Saint-Riquier). The treasury is richly decorated with luxurious furniture and contains extraordinary wall paintings! The park, of about 3 hectares, is in free access and offers temporary installations.

Saint Riquier est un endroit parfait pour se replonger dans l'histoire (abbatiale, abbaye, beffroi, maison d'un grognard de l'armée de Napoléon dont la toiture à la forme de son chapeau...) et dans la culture (le musée à côté de l'abbaye propose régulièrement des expositions très intéressantes. Parfait pour une balade en famille !
