Amiens is the ideal place to base yourselves for the true WW1 discovery experience if you are wanting to stay in a bigger town. Full of restaurants, cafés etc, you will have lots of options for evening outings and enjoying great French fare after a busy day of exploring.
In this region, you won’t find a single path or village without a memorial, cemetery or museum, retracing the history of the allied troops. There are no fewer than 410 British sites open to visitors in the Somme. Amiens is only 30 minutes’ drive to many WW1 sites, and 10 minutes’ drive to the Australian War Memorial at Villers-Brettoneux.
There are so many reasons to stay and enjoy Amiens itself - The Gothic cathedral is the largest in Europe and a listed UNESCO world heritage site, the Quai Saint Leu district with its bustling restaurants on the banks of the canals, Les Hortillonnages floating gardens and lots of antique shops....
