History of the town Abbeville in Picardy

Located in the heart of the Somme department within the historic region of Picardy, Abbeville stands as a beacon for travelers looking to experience France’s rich history. The town, once crowned as the capital of Ponthieu, derives its name from Latin origins signifying the “domain of the abbots.” Historically, Abbeville was an island refuge for fishermen. To safeguard themselves from recurring assaults, the island’s inhabitants fortified their dwellings. Later, a formidable castle was erected by Angilbert, serving as a bastion against potential invaders. The ravages of the Hundred Years War did not spare Abbeville, subjecting it to the relentless onslaught of pandemics, plundering, and predation by wild beasts. Moreover, the black plague left an indelible mark, decimating its populace. The horrors of the Second World War also befell upon the town, leaving Abbeville scarred by the ensuing battles.
