  • Peaceful site in the small town of Péronne
  • Near the major WWI battlefields
  • On-site fishing, cycle hire, play area and big communal dining area
What a pretty place… and with a well-stocked pond for fishing too. Camping Le Brochet is in the Somme valley, between a small lake and the commune of Péronne, and in an area famed for its fishing as well as its 245-kilometre river. It's also an area of Great War remembrance: the World War I fields where the Battle of the Somme was fought are close to the site and the region's Great War museum is in the local town of Péronne. Regional capital Amiens is about an hour away. The site has a play area, a ping pong table, cycle hire, a pétanque court and a spacious alfresco eating area that also comes with guest wifi. There are also big sinks for dishwashing, and a large amenities block with hot running water and free showers. Please note that a small daily charge applies for the fishing: pay on arrival if you're going to cast off.

Gemma M. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric grass and earth pitch

Liked: Location of town as stopover for Eurotunnel

Disliked: Most things… Whilst receptionist was friendly she was not present on arrival and had to call her to attend. Bathrooms weren’t working, needed to use an old mobile home which was very unclean. Therefore paid for showers and hot water which we would not use as it was rather dusty and cobweb ridden. Pitches were VERY waterlogged.

Electric grass and earth tent pitch (backpacker, motorcyclist, no cars)

Liked: In city location but quiet and well kept grounds. Low cost was a pleasant surprise. Easy walk to town centre.

Disliked: There was some confusion by the manager over whether I had paid for 2 days, easily and happily fixed by showing my receipt.

Electric grass and earth pitch

Liked: de vriendelijkheid van de receptioniste grootte van de standplaats, maar niet optimaal te gebruiken door leidingen in het midden van het perceel

Disliked: - in het midden van de de standplaats kwamen loze leidingen omhoog. Om ooit (?) nog eens iets aan te leggen misschien. Zag eruit of het al zeer geruime tijd er zo bij lag. - om van de stroom gebruik te kunnen maken had je een kabel van ca 50 m nodig, zeer weinig stroompunten - sanitair zeer sterk verouderd, leek wel of de toiletten niet op het riool waren aangesloten, miste kranen op wastafels, douche afgebroken dus niet bruikbaar, niet schoon. Hing wel een ingevulde schoonmaaklijst, maar de spinnen kropen door de wasbakken en de spinnenwebben hingen bijna tot aan je hoofd. één nacht gestaan, op doorreis naar huis, maar zou dit zeker niemand aanraden. Het is een camping municipal (gemeentelijke camping) dus basic. Dat is normaalgesproken geen enkel probleem, maar op deze camping duidelijk wel en zeer zeker het geld van de overnachting niet waard. Foto's op de site zijn zeker niet realistisch

Local attractions

The main sights to see at the quiet small town of Péronne are the Alfred Danicourt Museum, its 13th-century castle and its Museum of the Great War, with two main permanent exhibitions as well as overall information on the conflict. The battlefields and memorials relating to the Somme are within easy driving distance from town. A Péronne farmers' market is on every Saturday to pick up fresh Picardy produce to have back at the barbie or for a picnic out of town; bikes can be hired at the Péronne tourist information centre to access over 120 kilometres of path along the Somme Canal. Within an hour's drive is Somme department capital Amiens, one of France's Towns and Lands of Art and History and also known for its huge Christmas market every December, the biggest in northern France. Its best known building is its cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site dating back to the 13th century; among its other most visited attractions are the hortillonnages or floating gardens, the Jules Verne House, Picardy Museum and the old quarters of Saint-Leu and Saint-Maurice. The local swimming pool is 200 metres from the site.
