"A route on a redeveloped old railway line between Abbeville, the capital of Ponthieu, and the border of Pas-de-Calais. Secure circuit ideal for family cycling.

On the way in the footsteps of the trains which, for more than a century, left the capital of Ponthieu to cross the countryside.

Departing from Abbeville or any town crossed by the greenway, go in one direction or the other to take advantage of a route that is now perfectly safe to Auxi-le-Chateau.

Don't miss the stop at Saint-Riquier: for a drink, lunch and why not visit the abbey and the belfry!"

"Un itinéraire sur une ancienne voie ferrée ré-aménagée entre Abbeville, la capitale du Ponthieu, et la frontière du Pas-de-Calais. Circuit sécurisé idéal pour la pratique du vélo en famille.

En route sur les traces des trains qui, durant plus d'un siècle, quittèrent la capitale du Ponthieu pour traverser la campagne.

Au départ d'Abbeville ou de n'importe quelle commune traversée par la voie verte, partez dans un sens ou dans l'autre pour profiter d'un itinéraire aujourd'hui parfaitement sécurisé jusqu'à Auxi-le-Chateau.

Ne manquez pas l'arrêt à Saint-Riquier : pour boire un verre, déjeuner et pourquoi pas visiter l'abbaye et le beffroi !"
