Péronne, Medieval fortified town in Somme, France
The town stands at an elevation of 54 meters above sea level, with its castle dominating the landscape of the Haute Somme territory.
The settlement grew from a monastery founded by Eorcenwald before 400 CE, later becoming a strategic stronghold during numerous conflicts through medieval times.
The Historial de la Grande Guerre museum, located in the castle, presents collections documenting World War I through military and civilian perspectives.
The commune provides access to 570 shops, 90 restaurants, and 229 sports facilities, serving both residents and visitors in the Hauts-de-France region.
At the Gate of Brittany, the town's coat of arms displays a Gothic P surrounded by three fleurs-de-lis with two Barbet dogs representing loyalty.
