Les Muches et Saint-Riquier

Place de l'Abbaye, 80135 Saint-Riquier

A cycle ride through the Ponthieu region. A place rich in heritage and stunning scenery!

A long ride through the heart of the Ponthieu region: rolling countryside, Picardy architecture and the ‘muches’ in Domqueur (a Picardy word meaning hiding places or underground shelters). The route starts from the Abbey Square in Saint-Riquier (or alternatively from the Town Hall Square in Domart-en-Ponthieu) for a 60km loop through small villages. Saint-Riquier boasts an abbey church and a royal abbey which houses the cultural centre, a belfry listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site that is home to the tourist office, as well as the Hôtel-Dieu and its chapel, patients’ ward and apothecary’s room. The route passes through Domqueur and its ‘muces’ (ancient underground shelters) dating from the 17th century. It also takes you through Ribeaucourt with its 17th- and 18th-century château and its garden, Le Pavillon de Fantaisie. Then there is Domart-en-Ponthieu, a village adorned with flowers, where you can take a break at the Brasserie Artisanale de la Somme.
