Corbie (French pronunciation: [kɔʁbi]; Dutch: Korbei; Picard:Corbin) is a commune of the Somme department in Hauts-de-France in northern France.
The A29 road is shown under construction snaking across the chalk in the southern part of the picture.
Its scriptorium came to be one of the centers of work of manuscript illumination when the art was still fairly new in western Europe.
In this early Merovingian period the work of Corbie was innovative in that it portrayed images of people, such as Saint Jerome.
In 1918, Corbie was on the margin of the battlefield of Villers-Bretonneux at which the First Battle of the Somme (1918) of the German spring offensive came to a climax.
