		PICARDY (La Picardie), one of the old provinces of France, bounded on the N. by Hainaut and Artois, on the E. by Champagne, on the S. by the Ile de France, and on the W. by Normandy and the English Channel.
		Early in the 5th century Picardy became the centre of Merovingian France, for, as the historian Michelet says, "l'histoire de l'antique France semble entassee en Picardie." Clovis had his first capital at Soissons, Charlemagne had his at Noyon, and Laon was the capital and the refuge of the later and feebler Carolingian sovereigns.
		Picardy has a high place as a home of Gothic art, this being testified to by the superb cathedrals at Amiens and Noyon, while within its borders is the famous château of Coucy.

	Picardy
		Picardy is a region of amazing archaeological sites, picturesque villages (rated as among "the most beautiful villages in France"), six splendid gothic cathedrals, numerous royal castles (so popular with film makers) and a multitude of abbeys and churches in Cistercian, Romanesque and primitive or flamboyant Gothic.
		Remembrance in Picardy is inevitably linked to the battle of the Somme in 1916, the bloodiest episode of the First World War (involving troops of 35 nationalities; 1,353,000 men missing, injured, or killed) surpassing even the horrendous record of Verdun.
		Picardy combines three different types of countryside: a beautiful and romantic unspoilt shoreline, plateaux and forests to lure you away, and the tranquillity of canals and rivers.

	Picardy third (Site not responding. Last check: )
		An example of mode mixture, the picardy third (Tierce de Picardie) is a raised third in the final tonic chord of a composition in minor, the use of which originated in the 16th century and the Baroque era.
		The interval strength, or lowest possible location in the harmonic series, and thus consonance and "stability", of minor triads is less than that of major, which interprets major as more "stable", a major triad being found in the 4th, 5th, and 6th harmonics of a pitch, while the minor being the 5th, 6th, and 7th.
		Also supporting this, the picardy third is still considered part of an authentic cadence, the strongest cadence.
