Boves

Few towns in Hauts-de-France have a history as closely tied to a medieval stronghold as Boves. Set where the Noye meets the Avre, this commune lies just southeast of Amiens, amid the low, cultivated valley country of the Somme department. The Château de Boves was the seat of an influential medieval lordship, and its castle mound remains an important archaeological site, where excavations have traced several phases of medieval occupation. Now part of Amiens Métropole, Boves retains a distinct small-town identity shaped by its rivers and surrounding farmland.
