History and pre-history: A walk through time
Acheulean, which is a mythical word here, is the main and oldest paleontological facies of Europe, and it was on the terrace of Saint-Acheul that a number of bifacial tools were found that can today be seen in the Musée de Picardie.
Working with stone and metals is a subject at the prehistoric park of Samara, a few kilometres from Amiens.
The vestiges of an ancient town still survive under Amien’s modern streets and buildings.
Travel through the centuries with a guide and learn about the major phases of history, from Samarobriva through to Amiens today.
