Discover the heritage and history of towns and villages near and around Amiens. A few kilometres from the regional capital, belfries, castles and a citadel are waiting to be discovered, tucked away in the green landscape.
The Tourist Office proposes guided or non-guided tours of the abbey. This striking building is one of the last witnesses of the powerful Benedictine abbey of Corbie, which was known all over Europe. The abbey hides a number of treasures, including a map of the Abbey, a full model of the church, a number of relics, tombstones, and works of art on Saint Colette (patron saint of the city).
Built in 1535 under the reign of François 1, the citadel marks the transition between middle-age forts and Vauban citadels one century later. Its sandstone architecture is unique in France, along with its ace of spade bastions and its network of galleries. The Doullens Citadel is witness to 500 years of military history.
The Tourist Office invites you to visit the vestiges of the Picquigny fortress, symbol of the power of the lords of Picquigny and the remarkable Saint-Martin Collegiate Church.
Free guided visits every day from 2:30pm to 5:30pm
