Some 100 km north from Paris, in Normandy is chick city of Amiens. I say chick cause it totally anonymous but elegant and worth to visit.

The city is famous for the largest gothic cathedral in France. There is a marty – left hand of St John Baptist. The right hand, with which he baptised Jesus is in Istanbul.

The river Somme follows the city so there are many coffee places and terraces. Especially around the Siant Leu quarter. I found particularly nice the houses with wooden construction.
Amiens is also a birth place of the famous writer Jules Vern. We visited the house but it was too late to enter. Which then, remains for next time. A la prochaine, Amiens.
