Begin at Notre-Dame d'Amiens, France's largest Gothic cathedral, by walking around the facade to appreciate over 3,000 carved biblical figures before stepping inside to experience the soaring 42-meter-high nave. If visiting in summer, return in the evening for the spectacular 'Chroma' light show that brings the facade to life in brilliant colors. Explore the Saint-Leu quarter, Amiens' Venice-like district, wandering along canals lined with colorful houses, antique shops, and traditional bouchons (local restaurants). Take a boat tour through the hortillonnages, unique floating market gardens on artificial islands that have fed the city for centuries. End your visit browsing the local markets and sampling ficelle picarde (ham and mushroom crêpe) and famous macarons d'Amiens.
