The Belfry of Abbeville, built in the 13th century, is one of the oldest in France and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2005. A symbol of the municipal liberties of Abbeville , it testifies to the municipal power obtained with the Charter received in 1187 from the Count of Ponthieu. This Charter, still preserved, is the foundation of the birth of the city of Abbeville. The belfry also houses part of the Boucher-de-Perthes museum, named after a great Abbeville prehistorian and collector of the 19th century. In front of the belfry is the statue of Admiral Courbet. Born in Abbeville in 1827, Amédée Courbet was from Abbeville to the China Sea, an unmissable figure in French maritime history at the end of the 19th century.
