Beautifull floating gardens to visit by bike and boat! We stoppen at Le Vert Galant and rented a small boat for a tour without a reservation..

Enjoy a loop on the towpath, a very easy circuit between Amiens and Boves, turn off to Petit-Camon, a small town with a continuation of the hortillonnages. Typical houses, gardens on the "water" full of color and well-organized vegetable gardens. Amiens is nicknamed the Green Venice of the North.

The hortillonnages of Amiens are an area of 300 hectares of former marshes located east of the city of Amiens and on the territories of the municipalities of Rivery, Camon and Longueau, developed (in the Middle Ages) to create usable fields for market gardening.
