During your trip, do not forget the Hortillonnages, market gardens accessible only by boat that systematically attract hordes of tourists. The stone circus is also popular among tourists in Amiens. After that, take some time off to stroll on the Circuit of Remembrance and on the Battlefields of the Somme. Do not absolutely leave Amiens without a visit the St. Leu area. It is its liveliest place and has plenty of historical references and events. The traditional Picardy puppet theatre totally deserves a visit as well. But to declare your stay in Amiens complete, you should not miss the beautiful Somme natural reserve, famous for the diversity of bird species (there are thousands of different species), its flora richness, and its magical setting. However, monuments and natural parks are not the sole sights in this city. Amiens is also justly famous for its gastronomy. Enjoy the traditional delicacies in the many restaurants of the city. Taste some gourmet dish like the Picardy string, the gateau battu, the duck pâté, and the leek tart. For a dessert, savor famous Picardy sweets like the Amiens macaroons and the tuiles au chocolat, the latter available in the Amiens version too. A thorough visit to Amiens surely includes a walk in the Abbey of Valloire gardens, widely renowned for their outstanding rose gardens. Have a great time in the circus that Jules Verne inaugurated in 1889. Then, dive into the mediaeval atmosphere of the Belfry. By the way, from here you can benefit of a wonderful view on the city. Finally, take a look at the ChésCabotans puppet theatre. Throughout the year, it proposes puppet shows for children and adults starring the traditional Picardy puppets. An exhibition hall is entirely devoted to the puppet city collection.
