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.
