And how about…
Heading to the Saint Leu district – the historic heart of the city where the dyers, millers and other tanners once kept their workshops. The spruce façades of the typical little houses are now home to bars, restaurants, antique dealers, second-hand booksellers and crafts people. There’s nothing quite like going for a stroll, stopping for a drink or indulging in regional specialities on the banks of the Somme there.
