Let’s take a quick moment in your visit to mention a few other places of interest that weren’t included in this tour, but are well worth checking out if you want to experience everything Amiens has to offer. First, no visit to the city would be complete without exploring the hortillonnages — a one-of-a-kind site in France. These floating gardens, passed down through generations of market gardeners, can be discovered on foot, by bike, or by boat.

For a deeper dive into Amiens’ past, you might enjoy a visit to the Saint-Acheul Archaeological Garden, where you’ll find prehistoric remains dating back thousands of years. Another fascinating site is Samara Park, about twenty minutes by car from the city centre. This open-air museum immerses you in daily life during prehistoric times, all in the heart of a beautiful natural setting.

If you're planning to stay in the area a bit longer, don't miss a trip to Saint-Riquier — a lovely village known for its impressive Flamboyant Gothic abbey and its UNESCO-listed belfry. Amiens also sits at the heart of the Somme Valley, a region filled with charming northern towns and ideal for exploring on foot, by bike, or even by boat. Let the river guide you through peaceful natural landscapes all the way to the sea — just an hour from Amiens!

You might stop by Saint-Valery-sur-Somme, Le Crotoy, or head to the Pointe du Hourdel to spot some seals in their natural habitat. So if you're thinking of extending your stay, there's plenty more to see and do around here!
