Things to see and do

The museum of the region of Bray-sur-Somme traces the historical events that marked the city Brayonne and its canton: from the Gaulish era to 1944, notably with the exploits of the Baron Rouge and the big cannon of Chuignes.

The church of St. Nicholas of Bray-sur-Somme was built partly during the transition from the Romanesque to the Gothic style. Its massive bell tower of the eighteenth was completed in 1745. It is classified Historic Monument on April 2, 1908. From the primitive furniture, there remains only the confessional and pulpit behind which stands a pillar whose bas relief represents a salamander: emblem of François 1.

Bray still has two washhouses of the eighteenth century, always accessible to the public: the laundry of Béthisy and that of Montplaisir.

Events and festivities
