Guided visits

Follow in the footsteps of the soldiers of the British army (Englishmen, Scotsmen,
Indians and Australians alike) and in those of the colonial troops from Africa,who turned Amiens into an international city for the duration of the conflict.

A series of five theme-based visits of Notre-Dame is on offer.

With its origins dating back to the 13th century, this is one of the oldest gardens
in France, and also considered to be one of the most beautiful.

A visit to this internationally famous prehistoric site will teach you all you need to know about the earliest settlements in the region, as well as about the animals and climate changes that accompanied the hollowing out of the Somme Valley and the fashioning of our present landscape.

After you’ve accomplished the strenuous 307-step climb to the top, the towers provide breath-taking panoramic views of Amiens and of Notre-Dame’s steeple, which reaches a height of 112.70 metres…

Built between 1220 and 1288, this masterpiece of Gothic architecture is famed for the harmony of its proportions, the purity of its lines and its remarkable statuary.

Aboard your coach (equipped with microphone and seat for the guide), you will come to understand the history of how Amiens came into being, from Gallo-Roman Samarobriva to the 21st century metropolis.

Take a stroll through Amiens’ historic districts, from Notre-Dame to the banks of the Somme.
