Today, picardie has changed from the desolation of Somme and Makentre to a beautiful scenic spot with Gothic church roads (Amiens, Laon and Beauvais). The name source "Piccadilly" is neither a geographical term nor a historical term. This word appears in 1248, which comes from picard, that is, piocheur (digger, extended to diligent students). At that time, Parisians in picardie called all the farmers living in Senlixis and the northern part of valois forest Piocher; ; In northern France, people who don't speak Flemish are called piccard. These areas include Alas Alas, boulogne-sur-Mer in boulogne, Calais in Calais and Tournay in Tournay. Students from these places became "Piccadils" in Paris and Oré ans. Historical origin 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". Picadiyah's narrow sense of "Picadiyah" can refer to the administrative region of Picadiyah established in the16th century, including the northern part of Ainsomme 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 the region was established, the area of picardie Province was not enough to establish a region, so the French decided to add the northern part of ile-de-france to the new Picardi region, including Beauvais, valois, Nuoyong, Laon, Sauvage and so on.

In fact, the south of Vaz province is within the radiation range of Greater Paris. Local residents who travel to and from ile-de-france for work and study rarely consider themselves "Piccadils". Geographically, the trace of artificial division is also quite obvious.
