We have stayed here a few times Camping Du Port De Plaisance at Peronne. It is a great centre for touring the somme battlefields,

Glad I was scrolling through & spotted this thread as I was thinking of also stopping in this area as part of our proposed visit this year.  Thanks.

Les Vivier aux Carpes near St Quentin is good for WW1 battlefields sites

.English speaking owners nice quiet village,good access for autoroute and supermarkets nearby.

Verdun is highly recommended.

Actually it's not "Leper", but "Ieper" (starts with a capital I), though I must admit that that is how it looks on the signposts, which are inevitably written in a sans-serif font. 
I suppose the Belgians pronounce it "ee-per", which is not too far from the more familiar French pronunciation than we are used to.

I am sure you know about the Last Post ceremony at the Menin Gate in Ypres, every evening at 8pm.  Get there in good time (it's just off the main square), and take plenty of hankies.
