People talking about the Picardy they love
"My husband and I moved to Picardy six years ago. My husband is fascinated by the First World War and I love the countryside, so the small village of Mailly-Maillet was a good compromise. It's a charming village, not far at all from the city. In scarcely two hours by car you can be in Paris, Lille, Brussels or even back in England. What's great about Picardy is that it's a haven of greenery, peace and calm yet a stone's throw from the hustle and bustle of the towns. What really struck me when I moved here was the warmth of the Picard people. We felt so welcome. I truly feel at home here now. Now my days are spent watching my children grow up and taking advantage of the space and calm. We’ve opened two guest rooms for visitors and love to show them the quality of life that you can enjoy here. I love to share a traditional local meal with them and just take the time to talk and get to know them. Living in Picardy is a wonderful change of pace.”
