Amiens

Amiens is best known in Hauts-de-France for Notre-Dame Cathedral, the largest Gothic cathedral in France. The Somme flows through the city and feeds the Hortillonnages, a network of canals and cultivated gardens traditionally tended by boat. Built mainly in the 13th century, the cathedral is a UNESCO World Heritage site, distinguished by its immense interior and deeply sculpted western façade. The Saint-Leu quarter follows the waterways with former industrial buildings now occupied by cafés and local businesses. Amiens is also associated with Jules Verne, who lived here from 1882 to 1900.
