Amiens, Somme
Amiens is a town in Northern France about 75 miles north of Paris
through which many of us will have passed on our way from the
Channel ports to the French capital. It has a large 13th Century
Gothic cathedral, whilst the surrounding area is known for its
hortillonnages, which are gardens on small islands in the marshland
along the Somme.
