Albert the Town and Museum France



Places to visit in the town of Albert

Albert France a town in the Somme region.

The town was badly damaged in the WW1 fighting. The first photo shows the La Basilque Notre Dame which was hit by a bombardment in 1916. It had to be rebuilt into the fine building it is now.

At the side of the building is the entrance to the museum Somme 1916.

When visiting the town of Albert in northern France as a tourist, there are many things to do and see. The town is home to a museum, the Citadel of Albert which houses an impressive collection of World War I artifacts.

Visitors can also explore the Somme 1916 Museum and the Trench of Death (Le Trou de Mort). There are several parks in the area for those looking for a peaceful stroll or a picnic. In addition, visitors can take a guided tour of the town, visit the local markets, and enjoy the views of the River Somme.

For the more adventurous, Albert is also home to a number of trails for hiking and biking. After a day of sightseeing, grab a bite to eat and enjoy some of the local cuisine.
