Moving to Picardy – what should you know:
The region of Picardy is considered by some to be an artificial entity, with the south of the Oise department lying inside the metropolitan area of Paris. People in the south of Oise commute to Île-de-France for work, and hardly identify as Picard (the local inhabitant and traditionally Picard language speakers). Those who live in the north of the region have a stronger connection to the region.
Between the 1990 and 1999 censuses, the population of Oise increased 0.61% per year (almost twice as fast as France as a whole), while the Aisne department lost inhabitants, and the Somme barely grew with a 0.16% growth per year. Today, 41.3% of the population of Picardy live inside the Oise department, which historically was not part of Picardy.
Picardy proper is a vast flat plain of open fields, famed for the gruesome Battle of the Somme during World War I. The south of Picardy (historically part of Île-de-France) is a scenic hilly area with large forests.
Most of Picardy is a vast plain with open fields, famed for the gruesome Battle of the Somme. The main crops of Picardy are wheat, sugar beets, and fodder. Sugar beet was introduced by Napoleon I during the Napoleonic Wars in order to counter the United Kingdom which had seized the sugar islands possessed by France in the Caribbean. The sugar industry made the fortune of Picardy in the 19th century and contributed to the ruin of the sugar economy in the Caribbean.
Villages of Picardy have a distinct character, with their houses made of dark red bricks, in contrast with the neighbouring provinces.
A minority of people still speak the Picard language, one of the languages of France, which is also spoken in Artois (Nord-Pas de Calais région). “P’tit quinquin”, a Picard song, is a symbol of the local culture (and of that of Artois).
In 2009, the Regional Committee for local government reform propose to reduce the number of French regions and cancelled out additions of new regions in the near future. Picardy impacted by the reform would disappear and each department will join a nearby region. Ile-de-France (which grows the Oise), Nord-Pas-de-Calais (which incorporates the Somme and Aisne may be) and/or Champagne-Ardenne (for the Aisne).
