Abbeville Mussel Kermesse and Spring Fair

A doubly traditional rendezvous: gastronomy and bargain hunting

The Abbeville Mussel Kermesse and Spring Fair perfectly embodies the spirit of great Picardy popular festivals. Organized by the Amicale Saint-Jacques, it combines two well-rooted traditions of the region: tasting mussels-fries and the spring flea market.

The port of Abbeville: an exceptional setting

The choice of the port of Abbeville is not trivial. The canalized Somme that crosses the town retains a particular charm.
