Ideas for trips to Picardy for the weekend of 7 and 8 January

On this weekend of galettes des rois, we offer New Year’s concerts, films, a disc fair and bargains, but also to catch a flight or ride a bike.

The story of the New Year’s Concert began in Vienna on December 31, 1939. Since then it has become a tradition shared by many orchestras and this Sunday, January 8, three New Year’s concerts are offered in each of our three Picardy departments.
