To the southeast of the Somme, away from the coast and the main Paris through-routes, the often rainwashed and dull province of Picardy becomes considerably more inviting. Particularly in the departements of Aisne and Oise , where the region merges with neighbouring Champagne, there are some real attractions set amid lush, wooded hills. Laon , Soissons and Noyon all centre around handsome Gothic cathedrals, while at Compiegne , Napoleon Bonaparte and Napoleon III enjoyed the luxury of a magnificent chateau and embellished it to their hearts' content. Transport is good, too, with a network of bus connections from Amiens and good train and bus links with Paris.
