Saint-Riquier, in the river Somme estuary in Picardy, has been a much sought-after prize for centuries, enduring wars and invasions from Charlemagne until World War II.
The village developed around a monastery, which was founded in 625. It thrived and grew wealthy, only to be gradually superceded by the neighbouring town of Abbeville.
