About Amiens

Amiens is the capital of the Somme department and home to the finest Gothic cathedral in France — the Cathédrale Notre-Dame d'Amiens, inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, the largest Gothic cathedral by interior volume in France (200,000 cubic metres), and the most completely surviving example of High Gothic architecture in the country, with its original carved stone portal sculptures, its extraordinary choir screen and the remarkable Flamboyant Gothic ambulatory chapels all intact. The cathedral was built with extraordinary speed — the nave was complete in just 16 years (1220–1236) — and its structural clarity and soaring proportions (42.3 metres to the vault) represent the supreme achievement of the High Gothic structural system.

Amiens is also famous for the Hortillonnages — a remarkable network of floating market gardens on islands in the Somme River, cultivated since the Middle Ages and navigated by traditional black flat-bottomed boats (barques à cornet), which give the city a unique wetland character entirely unlike any other French city. The medieval quarter of Saint-Leu, on the banks of the Somme canal below the cathedral, has been transformed into a vibrant district of bars, restaurants and galleries in its medieval and 19th-century buildings. The surrounding Somme region carries the weight of extraordinary WWI history — the Somme battlefields, the Thiepval Memorial (the largest British WWI memorial in the world), and the Australian National Memorial at Villers-Bretonneux are all within 30km of Amiens.

Important Transfer Information

Notre-Dame d'Amiens Cathedral: The Cathédrale Notre-Dame d'Amiens is the largest Gothic cathedral interior in France — its nave (42.3m high, the third highest Gothic vault in the world) gives it a spatial grandeur surpassing even Notre-Dame de Paris. The original polychrome colours of the west portal sculptures have been partially recreated in the annual Son et Lumière illuminations (summer evenings), revealing how the medieval cathedral blazed with painted colour. A UNESCO World Heritage Site of the first rank.

Somme WWI Battlefields: The Somme department surrounding Amiens is the most visited WWI battlefield landscape in Europe — the Battle of the Somme (July–November 1916, over 1 million casualties) left a landscape dotted with cemeteries, memorials and preserved trenches. The Thiepval Memorial to the Missing (by Lutyens, 1932) — bearing the names of 72,195 British and South African soldiers with no known grave — is the largest British memorial in the world. The Historial de la Grande Guerre at Péronne is the finest WWI museum in France.
