In the Middle Ages, "Piccadilly" refers to France north of Paris, and even includes Dutch-speaking Flanders. So the area referred to by this term is much wider than that of Piccadilly today. In the Latin quarter of Paris, people call those students from Flanders who are studying at the famous Sorbonne University "Piccadils".

In a narrow sense, "picardie" can refer to the administrative region of picardie established in16th century, including the northern part of Ainsom River State and the northern border of Vaz. This is what most people think of Piccadilly today. The old definitions are kept in terms such as picardie.

Before the French Revolution, Burun Port and Calais were also considered to belong to Piccadilly, but now they belong to the northern part of the Dover Strait. However, these areas once belonged to artois province in history, and separated from it in the15th century.

Today's Piccadilly region is larger than the historical Piccadilly province, because most of southern Aina province and Vaz province used to be ile-de-france province, while Somme province and northern Aina province belonged to the original Piccadilly province. 1982 When picardie Province was established, the area was not enough to establish a large area, so the French government decided to add the northern part of ile-de-france to the new Picardi region, including Beauvais, valois, Nuoyong, Laon and Sauvage.
