What's Amiens Like?

Amiens' most well known attraction is the Notre-Dame d'Amiens. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, this is the perfect example of the haunting beauty of Gothic architecture. However, Amiens isn't just about design, it's also one of the best places in France to enjoy some mouthwatering cuisine. Amiens boasts its own exclusive dishes, including Macarons d'Amiens, and Flamiche. Amiens is split into 4 main districts. Saint-Lue is where you'll find Amiens hotels that are really luxurious, including global chains. Saint-Maurice is home to ESIEE - the premier French engineering school. It's a little less touristy than Saint-Lue, but still has a young vibe thanks to the student population. Henriville is home to Jules Vernes house on the corner of Rue Cahrles Dubois and Boulevard Jules Verne, while Saint-Acheul includes the French National Cemetary - a resting place for many military personnel.

Tips for Getting Along with Locals in Amiens

Although the Saint-Acheul district is full of English-style houses - influences from the British Advanced Base in 1914 - the city of Amiens is thoroughly French, and learning a few key phrases such as 'bonjour' (hello), 'au revoir' (goodbye), 'S'il vous plait' (please), and 'merci' (thank you) will be advantageous, especially when checking into your Amiens hotel for your stay. When in Amiens, you'll notice that food is hugely important to the locals, particularly dishes that are local to the Picardy region. Pâté en croute hails from Picardy, and for dessert you'll see many little Parisian-style bakeries serving up gâteau battu and Chantilly cream. Use Hotels.com to find Amiens properties with onsite restaurants to enjoy these little French treats morning, noon, and night. Locals in Amiens often get their news from the Journal des Amienois - the local newspaper. Picking up a copy can be a great way to find out about any events taking place during your trip.
