Famous districts and monuments, sometimes forgotten sculptures or houses: retrace the history of Amiens by wandering through its streets. A wide programme of visits all throughout the year.
Discover the old districts of Amiens with a guide. From Notre-Dame to the City Hall, via the Saint-Leu district, you will discover all the facets of a city with a prestigious past.
Whether you are directly concerned by a handicap or simply attentive to the issue of comfort, the City Hall's architectural riches must naturally be accessible to everyone who wants to appreciate them. A trained guide and sign-language translator present the communal house and its history in detail, according to the different types of audience.
By visiting the belfry from top to bottom, you dive in the life of the town since the Middle Ages.. It was only a hundred steps you reach the terrace where you'll have a unique perspective on the city and the chime of 30 bells.
Superbly restored in a period circus top adapted to the demands of today’s shows, the Circus invites you to have a look round. Discover the metallic structure put up by the architect Emile Ricquier and the contemporary work of art by the painter Ernst Caramelle. A surprising association that is worth the detour.
The guide welcomes families for a tour of the archaeological garden of Saint-Acheul, a world-famous prehistoric site. Come armed with a picnic and you can discover the prehistoric hunting weapons and even have a go at throwing an assegai!! If you’d prefer to come after lunch, a family workshop is organised early afternoon where you can make everyday objects or put yourself in the shoes of our ancestors.
At the foot of the cathedral, enjoy the charms of a boat trip! Your boatman will take you the heart of the Saint-Leu district. From the canals, discover the architecture, life and colours of this picturesque district. A unique trip with exceptional view points and a great opportunity to relax.
Guided tour in a carriage drawn by 2 or 3 horses. Two 30-minute routes, leaving from the cathedral forecourt: “the Saint-Leu district and the town centre” and “In the footsteps of Jules Verne”.
