So, come and discover the parks/gardens of Amiens and take the opportunity to rest in the company of your 4-legged friend, here are our addresses:
- The Parc Saint Pierre, located near the Saint-Leu district is marked by the presence of water, as is the case of the whole city which is nicknamed "the little Venice of the North".

- The Jardin des plantes is one of the oldest botanical gardens in the city.
- The Jardin archéologique de Saint-Acheul was designed to highlight one of the oldest testimonies of our heritage. It invites you to walk along natural paths and discover the past thanks to a signage that will allow you to go back in time over 450 000 years.
- Rue du Condorcet saw the inauguration in 2017, of a dog park called "caniparc". This park provides facilities for dogs to play freely, while preventing them from escaping. The main mission of this park is to create social links by facilitating communication between dog owners. This place is a must for all dog owners.

Is CaniTransport possible in Amiens?
Unfortunately, if you plan to travel by Ametis bus, you will need to carry your pet in a bag. However, it is important to note that large dogs are not accepted on buses, so if you have a large companion, you will have to opt for another transportation solution such as car rental. If you want to move around with your pet freely, you can use your own car to get around. This will allow you to easily get to the different places in the city that you want to visit, while having your furry friend by your side.
However, it is important to note that assistance dogs, such as dogs for the visually impaired, are allowed on Ametis buses. This is an exception to the rule of transporting animals on buses.

Dog waste is a common problem in cities and residential areas. To help solve this problem, many cities have put in place regulations that require pet owners to pick up after their dogs. Owners must use special bags to pick up their dog's waste and dispose of it in the designated waste receptacles.
