A single work of art offers a window into the history of Quesnoy-Le-Montant: the Joan of Arc statue in the Chapelle Saint-Sulpice au cimetière. Other highlights include a 16th-century chapel, a historic farm entrance and the La Quercitaine hike, with its distance and duration clearly specified. This makes it easy to plan a stay around individual cultural sights and a longer excursion. The details below can help you choose what to focus on based on the time you have available.
Art, Chapels and Remembrance
The Joan of Arc statue is located in the choir on the north side of the Chapelle Saint-Sulpice au cimetière. Created in the 20th century by Charles Desvergnes, it was designated a protected movable cultural object on June 6, 1984. The chapel in the cemetery is also associated with a pilgrimage considered half secular and half religious.
A commemorative window in the church in Quesnoy-Le-Montant honors the victims of both world wars. It was designed by Pierre Vidal and installed by Pierre Pasquier. The small Chapelle Saint-Martin d’Hymmeville offers a different architectural perspective: it dates from the 16th century and is now owned by the municipality. Its lower walls are made of flint and stone; the upper section was raised with brick in the 18th century. The chapel therefore brings together different materials and building phases.
Farm History and Former Sugar Production
At the Ferme d’Hymmeville, the gateway draws attention to practical details of farm life. According to an inscription on the gateway’s coat of arms, the farm dates back to 1673. The chasse-roues, also known as wheel guards, helped carts pass through and protected the walls of the remarkable farm entrance. Their function explains why these features were placed alongside a passageway.
The former beet-grating factory is part of the area’s industrial history. It was built around 1873 for the S.A. de la Sucrerie d’Abbeville and ceased operations at the end of the third quarter of the 20th century. Juice produced at the former beet-grating factory was transported to Abbeville through a pipeline. A visit can therefore take in both older farm architecture and a former branch of production as distinct themes in local history.
La Quercitaine: Route Details and Scenery
La Quercitaine runs from Cahon towards Quesnoy-Le-Montant. The hike is 12.74 kilometers long, with 63 meters of ascent and 63 meters of descent. Its stated duration is 3 hours and 50 minutes, and it is rated moderate. This is a longer excursion to plan separately, rather than a short stroll. On the way back, the route follows paths between forests and pastureland. It also heads towards the cemetery, Chapelle Saint-Martin and Ferme d’Hymmeville.
These details answer different planning questions: the distance and duration provide a time frame, while the elevation gain and difficulty rating offer further guidance on the nature of the hike. Check the route details before setting out to make sure your plans match the current information.
Getting There by Bus
Regional bus route 751 connects Abbeville, Quesnoy-Le-Montant and Friville-Escarbotin. The associated timetable is valid from September 1, 2026, to July 3, 2027. Plan your journey for a service day within this period and check the relevant date before traveling.
