Amiens

Finally we arrived in France, more accurate in Amiens.

Amiens is a city in northern France, located 120km north of Paris and 100km south-west of Lille. It is the capital of the Somme department in the region of Hauts-de-France and has a population of approximately 135 000.

A central landmark of the city is Amiens Cathedral, the largest Gothic cathedral in France.

Jules Verne lived in Amiens from 1871 until his death in 1905, and served on the city council for 15 years and Amiens is the birthplace of Emmanuel Macron.

So I took a short stroll through the city when I visited the cathedral and for sure bought a welcome to France croissant 😍.Weiterlesen
