Roses everywhere in Gerberoy The Blue House, Gerberoy It may not take long to walk its cobbled streets but there is much to make you linger longer.

Tucked away on the southern edge of the Oise department in Picardy, almost on the border with neighbouring Normandy, Gerberoy claims to be the ‘smallest town in France’ - a title it was granted in 1202 by King Philip Augustus.
