Le Macassar is well situated as a base for exploring this diverse and pleasant region. Within easy reach are such things as;

War Memorials - Le Macassar is located in the heart of the "circuit du souvenir" (war memorial area). Impressive and often beautiful monuments dedicated to the memories of soldiers from Australia , Great Britain , Canada , South Africa , New Zealand , India and the US are all within 40 minutes drive.

Antique Lovers - If your passion is for antiques we can plot a route for you around some interesting shops in the region. There are a number of antique fairs in and around Amiens throughout the year and throughout the summer many of the surrounding villages have their bric-a-brac sales.

Baie de Somme - the sandy coast is a pleasant 1 hours drive away and home to lovely fishing towns such as St. Valery sur Somme and the bird sanctuary 'Le Marquenterre '.

Champagne - why not take the opportunity to visit the Champagne region (2.5 hours) and tour the impressive production houses and cellars of famous names such as Pommery and Moet. We can even guide you to a couple of our favourite small independent producers to sample or buy champagne that you'll not be able to find anywhere else.

Paris and Lille - the centres of Paris and Lille are only an hour away by train making them easy day trips for exploring, shopping and sight seeing with the benefit of returning to Le Macassar for a relaxing and peaceful evening
