   • Amiens Cathedral. All kind of ingredients come together to make this one of the world’s great cathedrals, and it’s no wonder that the monument is a UNESCO site.
   • Les Hortillonnages. On the western side of Amiens, within walking distance of the cathedral, the city gives way to a 65-kilometre network of canals coursing through reclaimed farmland with small houses.
   • Saint-Leu. A few steps from the cathedral the streets are laced with waterways branching off the River Somme. You could pass a gentle afternoon ambling by the canals with painted old houses that would have had waterwheels attached in the middle ages.
   • Maison de Jules Verne. The red-brick Maison à la Tour at 2, Rue Charles Dubois was Jules Verne’s home for 18 years until his death in 1905. The building is named for a quirky tower, capped by a domed skylight that illuminates the spiral staircase you’ll use to make your way around this riveting attraction.
