The city centre Amiens

Amiens France city centre

The city of Amiens in the Somme region of France. The 4 pictures show the town centre do not be fooled by the lack of people it is a very busy city

Unlike the Uk and USA every thing stops at lunch time. At 12 noon to 2 pm even the large stores and supermarkets shut.

Just outside of Amiens you will find the surrounding area is full of woods and valleys.

There is also a Chateau and several Abbeys to visit.
