Culture

The inner porch of the Church of Saint Martin in Cocquerel is one of the few surviving Romanesque remnants in the area. The church also features stained-glass windows, sculptures and richly decorated corbels that once conveyed the sacred texts to parishioners. The Chapelle de Longuet is also open to visitors in Cocquerel.

In the hamlet of Longuet, which belongs to Cocquerel, Rue d’En-Bas lies between the Somme and the plain; it leads down to the ponds.
