Hard to choose the informations when you love your territory…
But here are our ten reasons to come for one day, one week-end or longer in the Saint-Quentin area.
That’s true !
Saint-Quentin is a city with more than 55000 inhabitants. You will find here all the advantages of a city : shops, museums, restaurants… And all of this is so quiet, far from the hustle and bustle.
That’s real !
The countryside within the city, that’s what the Parc d’Isle offers, 5 minutes walk from the train station (the only nature reserve in Europe located in the inner city). We have also our Central Park : the Parc des Champs-Elysées provides, among other things, the opportunity to have a rest, a picnic or do sport.
The nearby villages are especially charming and interesting : they will reveal unusual churches with art deco bell tower (Jussy, Roupy, Vermand), museums (Alaincourt, Bohain en Vermandois, Fresnoy-le-Grand), water areas (Fonsomme, Saint-Simon, Homblières…), recreational places for young and old (Mézières sur Oise), a few minutes away from Saint-Quentin by car. The destination is also brimming with history and many traces remain (Trefcon and Bellicourt).
To taste urgently !
Have you ever given it a try ? Chip stalls were originally trucks that were transformed. They are movable and stationed along roads and offer you to eat french fries in cornet or in a sandwich nicknamed « américain » (a local speciality). It’s not uncommon to see a vinegar bottle on the chip stall counter. Try it and you won’t go back ! For some years now, chip stalls found a key place and don’t move.
My advice : la friterie des Anges in Vermand ! Fresh french fries, local cheese and enclosed place for security !
That’s possible !
Brasserie, bar, intimate or spectacular restaurant, there is something for everyone. You will enjoy it for sure.
Whatever your choice, you will be likely to come across figures, enthusiasts and fans of the destination.
