Discover every side of Amiens

Whether you are here for a few days or rather longer, Amiens will surprise you. The unmissable Notre-Dame cathedral, the largest Gothic cathedral in France, is quite simply majestic. Fancy a peaceful wander? Head for the Hortillonnages, the beautiful floating gardens you reach by boat. On the cultural side, the Musée de Picardie holds real artistic treasures, while the Maison de Jules Verne draws visitors into the fascinating world of the famous writer.

The best places for lunch

For a quick and tasty lunch, try a local speciality such as the ficelle picarde in one of the brasseries in the centre. Looking for something more refined? Le Quai serves flavourful dishes with a superb view over the Somme. For a drink with friends, Au Bureau offers a warm, sociable atmosphere, or treat yourself to Le Charleston, an Amiens institution where cocktails and wines are enjoyed in a relaxed setting. Remember to add your own favourites to the welcome book so your guests are pointed towards the very best local recommendations.

Time for a shopping trip?

In the mood for a little window shopping? Amiens is far from short of places to shop. Between the big names at the Les Halles shopping centre and the small independent boutiques of the Saint-Leu quarter, there is something for every taste. For a more contemporary experience, head to Shopping Promenade, a destination made for anyone who loves keeping up with the trends.

Events not to be missed

Amiens buzzes with events all year round. In winter, don't miss the Christmas market, one of the largest in northern France. In spring, Les Rendez-vous de la Bande Dessinée brings together comic book artists and enthusiasts. And in summer? The Art, Villes & Paysage festival takes over, turning the Hortillonnages into an open-air gallery of exhibitions and art installations.

That is just a glimpse of Amiens, and the city still has plenty of treasures to share. So that nothing is missed, guests can simply open the StyQR welcome book and set off to discover this wonderfully charming city. Ready to explore Amiens?
