Geography

Artemps is located 10 km southwest of Saint-Quentin and 7 km northeast of Ham. It can be accessed by the D32 road from Saint-Simon in the south passing through the heart of the commune and the village and continuing to Seraucourt-le-Grand in the north. There are a few country roads in the commune and the old Saint-Simon – Clastres Air Base is in the southeast of the commune. The commune is mostly farmland with a forest belt along the whole northern border. ^[3]

The Somme river flows along the northern border forming part of the border and the Canal of Saint-Quentin passes through parallel to the river inside the commune. ^[3]
