Amiens Must-Sees

Amiens is centered around the UNESCO-listed Cathédrale Notre-Dame, the largest Gothic cathedral in France. The city showcases a blend of medieval and 19th-century architecture, from the historic belfry to the distinctive polygon-shaped Cirque Jules Verne. As the long-time home of author Jules Verne, his 19th-century residence and the municipal library offer insight into the city's intellectual history, while the surrounding streets feature unique industrial heritage like the former Yvert printing house.
