It's 110 kilometres to the northeast of Paris, France's capital city.
Break free on a trip to some surrounding natural sights. 50 kilometres out of Cessieres, Compiegne Forest is waiting to be explored. Pays de Thierache Tourism Office, 40 kilometres away, is another fabulous spot to unwind in the outdoors.
If you're considering expanding your horizons, go 5 kilometres southeast to Mons-en-Laonnois. This is where you'll come across the Musee de Laon and Notre-Dame de Laon. We also suggest heading to Clacy-et-Thierret, 5 kilometres to the east, for the Laon Hospital and Cathédrale Notre Dame.
You may get the urge to stay in Gauchy for a bit. This destination is 35 kilometres away and not too far from the Butterfly Museum, Saint Quentin Basilica and Champs-Elysees Park. Other nearby attractions are Royal Kids Saint Quentin and Saint-Quentin Basilica.
When it comes to slowing down, hardly anything can top venturing outdoors and going cycling or bird watching.
Sure, there's a certain magic to getting lost in unfamiliar territory, but sometimes it's rather nice to reach your destination on the first try. To avoid any blips along the way, sign on for some guided nature walks, cycling tours and city walking tours.
See what's happening at the region's history museums. There are a few of them, so it's a good idea to do your research!
The area has a long, fascinating history. Spend a day or two scouting out the close-by castles, traditional villages, old towns and war relics and monuments. Don't stress if there isn't much information online — the locals will no doubt have a few tales to tell!
Experience the area's spiritual side by organising an outing to its churches, cathedrals and monasteries. Take a few minutes for some quiet reflection or simply observe the locals in prayer.
Tingle your taste buds and fill your Instagram account with drool-worthy pics by feasting on some of this destination's best food and drink offerings. Just remember to hashtag 'yum'!
No food-loving traveller would leave Cessieres without experiencing at least one of the classic dishes, such as flamique a porions (leek tart) and tart au maroilles (cheese tart).
You're travelling all the way to the Picardy region, so why not put in a little extra effort to learn a handful of expressions and greetings in the local tongue? It will make your experience here a more authentic one. Try to get your mouth around 'Je ne comprends pas'. It means 'I don't understand'. One more to commit to memory is 'C'est combien ?', meaning 'how much is this?'.
You can expect a buzz in the air around the 14th of July. The locals will be making preparations for Bastille Day, a day of nation-wide celebrations.
When it comes time to pack up your belongings, spend the last of your holiday allowance and say "Au revoir / À bientôt" to Cessieres.
If you're flying back home, it's a good idea to decide a route to the terminal before leaving. From the centre of Cessieres, you'll need to travel around 90 kilometres southwest to Roissy-Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG), the closest airport.
