_Eleven kilometres beyond Amiens, =Pont-Noyelles= is passed through._
This village was made famous by the sanguinary, indecisive battle
fought there on December 23, 1870, between the French and Germans. To
the left of the road, just outside the village, a monument commemorates
the battle.
_Twenty-eight kilometres beyond Amiens, N. 29 enters =Albert=._
