Only one issue with all this tranquillity: it’s easy to forget that the city sights of Amiens are RIGHT on the doorstep! Visit its cathedral, stroll around its characterful old town ‘Saint-Leu’ and try an Amiens macaron. Sample more Northern France specialities in one of its reputable restaurants or opt to dine-in back at your Amiens holiday cottage, stopping at a city market to get some goodies - maybe even vegetables grown right here on the Hortillonnages!
