Doullens, located in the Somme department of northern France, is a town rich in historical significance. The Museum Garden was part of Doullens’ municipal heritage, often associated with the Doullens Museum, which housed collections of local art, history, and archaeology. Public gardens like this one were popular in 19th and early 20th-century France.
The town also played a key role during World War I, serving as a strategic military hub due to its location near the Western Front. In 1918, the famous Doullens Conference was held here, where French and British military leaders met to coordinate their response to the German Spring Offensive, marking a turning point in the war.
