From the top of the spire of Notre-Dame Cathedral, it feels like you can touch the Eiffel Tower, the towers of London or the cliffs of the Cotentin Peninsula… Whether your interest lies in old buildings and history, you are a culture vulture, a sports fan, nature lover or you simply like to stroll around daydreaming, Amiens works its charms on everyone.
