Nature

The Val de Grand-Laviers, also known as Val aux Lépreux, lies in a small dry valley without a permanent watercourse; it extends for 3 km to the Somme valley. Due to its location at the bottom of the valley and on the plateau, as well as its vegetation characteristic of limestone habitats, the Val de Grand-Laviers has remarkable ecological potential.
