Saint-Quentin

Saint-Quentin stands at the intersection of the Somme River and multiple transportation routes, featuring medieval architecture and broad public squares throughout the city center.

Founded as Augusta Viromanduorum during Roman times, the settlement expanded around a monastery built to honor Saint Quentin, martyred there in the third century.

The Antoine Lecuyer Museum contains the largest collection of Maurice Quentin de La Tour pastels, representing the artistic heritage of the region.

The city connects to Paris and Reims through the Saint-Quentin railway station, while the A26 and A29 motorways provide direct road access.

The Butterflies Museum houses a scientific collection of 600,000 insects, making it one of the largest entomological collections in northern France.
