Rue is a commune in the Somme department in Hauts-de-France in northern France.
Rue is situated some 15 miles (24 km) north of Abbeville, on the junction of the D938, D4 and D85 roads.
First known in the 9th century, when Vikings, from Rye, Denmark (pronounced "Ru"), first settled here. It would not have been much more than a group of huts in the marshes. Some local family names have Danish origins.
