Picardy
Historically, the region of Picardy has a strong and proud cultural identity. The Picard (local inhabitants and traditionally speakers of the Picard language) cultural heritage includes some of the most extraordinary Gothic churches (Amiens and Beauvais cathedrals or Saint-Quentin basilica), distinctive local cuisine (including "ficelle picarde", "flamiche aux poireaux", "tarte au maroilles"), beer (including from Péronne's de Clercq brewery) and traditional games and sports, such as the "longue paume" (ancestor of tennis), as well as "danses picardes" and its own bagpipes, called the "pipasso".
