From Picquigny, there is an entrance to the park via the cycle path along the Somme.

The only downside was the lack of languages other than French on the many displays. I wish I spoke better French as to have been able to learn more about what we were seeing, but that isn't the case. Additional information in English, German, and Spanish would have been made for a much better learning experience.

Interesting, informative and most of the exhibits in the visitor centre had English translations.

Oct 2017 - Très bonne sortie, le personnel est sympa et explique bien les problématiques liées à la reconstitution d'habitats préhistoriques. De nombreux ateliers pour les enfants sont présents sur le site, très bien entretenu par ailleurs. Seul bémol, le service au restaurant est incroyablement lent (2h pour la totalité du repas).

Real nice open air museum. You start via an arboretum and a plant maze that is a bit too easy.
Then there is an exhibition building that looks like the home of Barbapappa, containing a walk through the historic eras of the area. Charmingly dusty here and there but well done.
The open air museum with re-enactments is real fun: they really invite the children (and grown-ups) to participate in making flint, fire and coins.
At the restaurant or shop, try the Cervoise (locally brewn), it is really refreshing!
