It's THE place to go for Amiens night life but that's not all. In the daytime you can stroll along the banks of the Somme, through narrow cobbled streets and enjoy seeing the smart and colourful little houses. Stop off at a café terrace to admire the Cathedral, have dinner in a riverside restaurant.

A real old fashioned cannery (family business) using traditional methods to bring the best of the Baie de Somme to your table: salt meadow lamb, glasswort, seafood terrines ... and, new this year, 'gâteau battu' (local brioche)! THE place to go for all your local products.

Designed by the landscape gardener, Jacqueline Otsy, the Parc Saint-Pierre is a modern park with lots of water and plants. It's great for a walk, games ...
