Places to visit in the city of Amiens photos and guide



Amiens is a city in the Somme region of France. It is a very busy city but well worth a visit. We found no problem parking on the street in the town centre.

The centre is a mixture of old wooden buildings in the Saint-Leu area. Next to modern traffic free shopping streets with fountains and restaurants. A guide to eating out in the city and a local map of the area. The city makes an ideal place to stay, visit the WWl battlefields.There are organised tours or you can go in your car we started at Vimy Ridge
