Monts-En-Ternois: Pastureland and Built Heritage

Monts-En-Ternois is shaped by agriculture: pastures border the built-up area, while a plain, rolling terrain and bocage vegetation characterise the immediate surroundings. The settlement pattern along several roads and the architectural heritage also define the village. For planning your trip, this offers a picture of a rural landscape, a linear village and notable buildings. If you are looking for a hotel, you can first consider whether this combination of landscape and local history suits your preferences.

Pastures, plain and bocage

Agricultural land makes up most of Monts-En-Ternois, with pastures bordering the built-up area. The village is also surrounded by pastures and an agricultural plain. The terrain is rolling, and bocage vegetation also characterises the immediate surroundings. The landscape therefore brings together open agricultural land, pastures beside the village and defining vegetation. Bocage refers to a landscape divided by hedgerows and wooded areas; this vegetation shapes the immediate surroundings here. The plain and the terrain offer different features: the plain suggests agricultural expanses, while the rolling ground creates varied topography.

Linear village with distinct approaches

Monts-En-Ternois developed as a linear village along Rue Principale, the RD 103 and then the RD 82 towards Gouy-en-Ternois. The village’s development thus follows a clearly defined sequence of roads. At the entrance on the RD 103 from the direction of Buneville, the transition is relatively understated: buildings are loosely spaced, only one side of the road is built up, and there is a break in the settlement before the village centre. The entrance on the RD 82 from the direction of Magnicourt-sur-Canche is different. There, a crossroads and the beginning of more pronounced development mark the transition. The former National Stud building is also located at this entrance. The two entrances are therefore clearly distinct: the RD 103 approach is defined by loose, one-sided development and a break in the settlement, while the RD 82 approach features a crossroads and a clearly defined start to the built-up area.

Église Saint-Adrien and architectural heritage

Église Saint-Adrien is a notable building in Monts-En-Ternois. In 2007, the bell tower and interior paintings were renovated. The church also houses a bell classified as an object. The Ancienne chapelle is also part of the village’s notable architectural heritage, but it is not protected. The former National Stud building is another part of the heritage that shapes the village’s identity. For those interested in architecture, the notable church, renovated features, a classified object and other historic buildings offer distinct points of interest.

Things to consider when looking for a hotel

Consider whether an agricultural setting, the village’s development as a linear settlement or its architectural history matters to you. This lets you start with what makes Monts-En-Ternois distinctive, then look for a hotel in Monts-En-Ternois.
