Abbeville is a commune in the Somme department in Picardie in northern France.Abbeville is located on the Somme River, 20 km (12 mi) from its modern mouth in the English Channel, and 45 km (28 mi) northwest of Amiens. In the medieval period, it was the lowest crossing point on the Somme and it was nearby that Edward III’s army crossed shortly before the Battle of Crecy in 1346.
Abbeville was the capital of the former province of Ponthieu. Today, it is one of the three sub-prefectures of the Somme department.The city was very picturesque until the early days of the Second World War when it was bombed mostly to rubble in one night by the Germans. The town overall is now mostly modern and rebuilt.
