Godefroid de Bouillon (St Sepulcre church)
On its site, Godefroy de Bouillon in 1096 with the invitation of Count GUI 1st of Ponthieu would have gathered its barons before leaving in crusade for the Holy Land.
On the pic , you see the statue of Godefroid de Bouillon ( a Belgian , you know!) remebering the event.

Church Holy Sepulchre
Classified Historic building. The church was batie at the 15th century, the bell-tower and the transept was rebuilt in the neo-gothic style in 1864. The church having been partially destroyed in 1940 in its high part, of work were carried out recently. The whole of the stained glasses of this church was conceived by Alfred Manessier. This artist born in 1911 in the Sum passed his childhood to Abbeville and is regarded as one of the largest nonfigurative artists. The Setting with the Tomb in the Vault of the Holy Sepulchre, on the left, deserves a visit. Only the lying one of Christ is old (statue out of wooden of the 15th century) the characters who surround it are posterior and of a very different invoice.

Lots to do. Pleasant place. Good base.
Abbeville was knocked flat in the second world warbecause it was a centre for the French resistance. It is mostly architecturally unexciting, having been rebuilt as a grand project in the 40-50s. But...
