Amiens

A holiday in the footsteps of Jules Verne, in one of the most beautiful cities in France.
A small paradise in which to get lost among suggestive canals, fascinating architecture and its extraordinary green heritage.

Located almost halfway between Paris and the Belgian border, Amiens is located in the heart of Picardy in a truly unique context.

A city that boasts really important numbers: it is the only one in France to sing the presence of 3 UNESCO World Heritage sites.
It ranks fourth among the greenest cities in the country, and its immense gardens (Hortillonage) are considered to be among the most beautiful in all of Europe.
Its gothic cathedral is among the most beautiful in France.
Its Christmas markets, among the most fascinating and evocative in the country.

Art, nature, events and gastronomy. There are so many reasons why you should visit the French city at least once in your life.
