Firstly this post is not a “paid for post” or sponsored post but simply a personal recommendation for somewhere that offered a great place to stay and brilliant service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few months ago I was down on the Somme and decided to stay overnight and didn’t want to stay in Albert. I was tracking down several of the “Men of Hartshorne”, visiting Delville Wood and also trying to locate 2 river crossing points where 3rd Field Sqn RE put in bridges for the Battle of Amiens on the 8th August 1918. So it was a visit with plenty of things to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having searched for somewhere to stay I found a cracking place at the village of Chuignolles. The property is a very impressive country house and there are 2 rooms for renting and the owners provide an excellent breakfast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Logis d\u2019Anne-Sophie, is a great place. It’s quiet and very comfortable and the use of the lounge with the very warm open fire was just what I needed so that I could spread out the maps and books while I planned my next day activities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is Bed and Breakfast, and I must say it is a bloody good breakfast – Home made Brioche, with home made plumb jam which I can highly recommend . The village is quiet and you may need to head to the surrounding villages and towns for an evening meal but as I had brought my own evening food (due to being on this bloody diet) that wasn’t a problem and the owners set a place on the dining table for me to eat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was also interesting chatting with Anne-Sophie’s husband, Bruno, that he mentioned that the house had been used by the Germans in both wars. This was particularly interesting as some of the Armoured Cars of the 17th Armoured Car Battalion came through the village on the morning of the 8th August 1918 and engaged a German MG Company in the village, considering the house is on the main junction in the village the chances are that the house was in the thick of it. It would be an interesting side project at some point to research into the events of that day and what happened in the village.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall I can say that Le Logis d’Anne-Sophie is probably an ideal place to stay if you are looking at researching and exploring the Amiens 1918 battle area and if you just want a quiet but very comfortable place to stay when visiting the Somme area at any time of the year then give them a visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
