Quai Bélu

If you’re looking for a lively spot in Amiens, you’re in the right place! Quai Bélu is full of bars and restaurants offering a beautiful setting along the Somme — perfect for grabbing a drink or tasting some local specialties. The area took on its current look in the 1980s, when the entire Saint-Leu district was renovated to replace the run-down housing that once stood here. That’s when shops and restaurants began moving in, turning the neighbourhood into a popular destination for its friendly, festive — and even slightly romantic — atmosphere. While you're here, take a moment to see if one of the restaurants catches your eye for your next meal. Also, just across the river, every Saturday, there’s a local farmers’ market. Once a year, in June, it turns into a traditional floating market, with dozens of wooden boats gliding down the Somme, loaded with fresh produce and flowers to supply the stalls. If you’re in town that month, it’s a must-see event. In the mood for some live music? Just turn your head to the left. That’s where you’ll find “La Lune des Pirates” — The Pirates’ Moon — a concert venue that’s been around since 1987. It hosts an eclectic and exciting programme, especially for music lovers looking for something a little different.
