Natural beauty in Amiens
If you enjoy the beauty of nature there are countless green spaces and sites of interest in Amiens. Holidays could include a trip to the 'floating gardens'. Surrounded by the Rivers Somme and Avre these gardens have been maintained since the middle ages and can only be reached by boat; with over 300 hectares there is plenty to explore! Or you could take in Cimetiere Paysager de la Madeleine, one of France's most beautiful romantic cemeteries. For animal lovers there is Amiens zoo, located close to the city centre and devoted to conversation of endangered species, in a typically green and picturesque setting.
Culture in Amiens
In the centre of town there is also lots of to see. Wander the quaint, canal-lined streets of the Saint-Leu quarter, perfect for a romantic stroll. You will never be far away from a site of historical interest, most obviously the Notre-Dame d'Amiens Cathedral. Built in the 1200’s it is one of Amiens largest gothic buildings and a breathtaking work of technical genius. Although the colourful houses, narrow streets and historical architecture of the Saint-Leu district make it particularly attractive, it is by no mean quiet or sleepy. There is a host of bars, cafes and interesting shops and with a large student population the area remains exciting at night time and relatively cheap. Amiens holidays could also include trips to nearby attractions such as the archeological site and exhibition in Samara, just a short distance away.
