リバリーのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

The Saint-Leu district, crisscrossed by branches of the Somme River, originated in the Middle Ages. Water-powered mills provided the necessary energy for the numerous weavers, dyers, tanners, and millers. Today, the charm of Saint-Leu's historic district invites you to stroll through the picturesque streets lined with colorful houses made of clay, wood, and brick. Since the renovation of this former working-class neighborhood in the heart of the city, it is home to designer shops, boutiques, antique stores, and second-hand shops. Just steps from the Université de Picardie Jules Verne, this is the perfect place for a drink on the terrace and a delicious meal in good company. As night falls, theater, concerts, and performances create that lively atmosphere so typical of Amiens.

Towards the end of the 1970s, this neighborhood was squalid, cut-throat, and unsanitary. Gilles de Robien and his team helped revive the city's oldest neighborhood, which had suffered the ravages of World War II. It's the neighborhood of associations and artists, with its restaurants on Quai Belu. The band Ange often passed through to give intimate concerts.

For a long time, it was a fallow park, maintained willy-nilly. With the arrival of Gilles de Robien, this park was completely transformed to give it its current purpose. This park is very popular with the people of Amiens. You can stroll with the children or family on weekends, and during the week it allows you to get some fresh air around midday or in the evening outside of work hours. It is close to the Saint Pierre district and Boulevard de Beauvillé.

Chairs for 4,000 worshippers…

The harbor for boat trips in the Hortillonages. A worthwhile boat tour similar to the one in the Spreewald.

The floating gardens can be explored with a guided boat tour.

Amiens' town hall is an imposing building. Jules Verne was apparently a member of the town council here for 16 years.

There are many small restaurants, cafes, and bars along the waterfront promenade. It's worth stopping by.
