Amiens Hotels & Other Accommodation

Amiens Tourist Information and Visitor Guide The Cathedrale de Notre Dame in Amiens is the largest cathedral in France and a glorious concoction of ornate carving, intricately detailed doorways and immense size. In complete contrast the delightful little cottages that line the canal in the St-Leu district could not be more simple and appealing. Local students love this area for its bohemian bars, cafes and restaurants.
